Ms Jacenko has been fitting breast cancer treatment in between meetings with clients, and was at work right up until she was due to undergo a second biopsy on Wednesday.
'Today I'm going to work and then to a biopsy... it's business as usual,' she said, smiling from behind a pair of oversized sunglasses.
Her blonde hair perfectly curled, she told Nine News: 'It can only be up from here.'
'You can never expect things in life. You've got to tackle things head on and that's what I'm going to do.
'I've got two young kids. I've got a responsibility so I'm going to keep doing what I do and it's business as usual - I've just got a few appointments in between and a laptop.'
Within minutes of arriving at work on Wednesday, Ms Jacenko shared a photograph of a display for a client, saying she was 'proud' of colleagues

The 36-year-old was seen at the wheel of her $600,000 Bentley as she made her way to her office in east Sydney's Double Bay after sharing her cancer battle publicly.
Ms Jacenko, whose husband Oliver Curtis was jailed for insider-trading last month, was diagnosed with the disease after finding a lump on her left breast while she was in the shower 10 days ago.
Ms Jacenko was forced to share news of her health battle with her jailed husband in a six-minute conversation from Parklea prison.
She was due to undergo a 'partial removal' of the lump but that the cancer was larger than suspected and surgery has been delayed while she awaits further testing.
She shared the news with her 'inquisitive and sensitive' four-year-old daughter Pixie but not her two-year-old brother.
Ms Jacenko posted a picture to Instagram on Tuesday with luggage after her diagnosis was revealed
