AceShowbiz - After undergoing double mastectomy for her breast cancer last week, Sandra Lee is now facing difficult time recovering from the disease. She opened up in a video posted via Facebook about his physical and emotional struggle following the surgery, saying that she had lost 15 pounds only in five days.
"Both Rita Wilson and Christina Applegate told me I was not gonna be as strong as I thought I was gonna be, and they're right," she said on Saturday, May 23 of her actress friends who were both breast cancer survivors. "It's really throwing me for a loop."
"I've lost about 15 lbs. in five days, and not just my boobs," she continued explaining. "It's just a lot of drugs, and it's a lot of nausea, and I just don't feel very good, but I'm going to get better. And this is a very good point, girls: You gotta go get your mammograms on Tuesday." The video was taken while the Food Network star was laying weakly on a hospital bed.
"This is a very good point: girls, you've got to go get your mammograms." A note from Sandra, still at the hospital.
