Celebrity

The Food Network star underwent the breast cancer surgery on Tuesday, May 19 at around 8 A.M. until before 1 P.M. with her boyfriend by her side.

AceShowbiz - Sandra Lee is recovering after undergoing double mastectomy for breast cancer on early Tuesday, May 19. According to update report posted on Facebook, her longtime boyfriend Governor Andrew Cuomo stayed by her side during the surgery and throughout her recovery process.

Sandra announced that she had breast cancer last Tuesday in an interview on "Good Morning America". She said that she was first diagnosed with the cancer on March 27 after doing a photo shoot for People's "Most Beautiful" issue.

Before the surgery took place, Sandra's team shared update via Facebook. "Dear Facebook family, We've got an update on Sandra: the day started out in the middle of the night," so they wrote. "She was up before 4a.m. to prep for surgery. Governor Andrew Cuomo drove Sandra and her sister Kimber to the hospital. She and Governor Cuomo chatted with the medical staff and thanked them for all their care and concern."

They continued, "After Sandra was stepped in to an operating gown, the governor joined her dressed in scrubs - with a neat tie underneath. When the medical staff rolled a gurney in to wheel Sandra to the O.R., she said she'd rather walk. And so she did, with the governor by her side down the long hospital corridors. Governor Cuomo stayed by her side until she fell asleep, and the surgeons got to work. Thank you for your kind notes!"

Following the surgery, the celebrity chef's team shared with her fans a snap of her and Andrew taken while Sandra was preparing for the surgery. "A new update: Sandra is out of surgery!" they said. "She is currently in a recovery room with Governor Cuomo and her sister Kimber. She's still a little groggy, but grateful the surgery is completed for today. Check them out- stylish even in scrubs!"
