Sandra Lee Has Breast Cancer, Will Undergo Double Mastectomy
Sandra Lee Has Breast Cancer, Will Undergo Double Mastectomy – Sandra Lee has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The 48-year-old celebrity chef and TV personality shared the news on Tuesday’s Good Morning America, telling Robin Roberts, a cancer survivor herself, that she plans to undergo a double mastectomy later this week.
Lee, who has been dating New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo since 2005, learned of her diagnosis on March 27, shortly after doing a photo shoot for People’s “Most Beautiful” issue.
“And I walked off the set, and 20 minutes later my doctor called and told me I had breast cancer,” she said. “I didn’t even cry, I was stunned…You know, and that’s just how fast life turns. It turns on a dime.”
Lee initially underwent a lumpectomy but doctors recommended undergoing a double mastectomy. Lee urges women young and old to get their mammograms done.
