AceShowbiz - Sandra Lee is suffering complications from a recent double mastectomy. The Food Network star was rushed to hospital on Tuesday night, August 4 to deal with a build-up of fluid. She is expected to remain under supervision for a few days.
"There was a setback [on Tuesday night] due to what may be an infection post-mastectomy," a representative for Lee said in a statement. "But Sandra is her ever-fighting self."
Lee's longtime boyfriend, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was reportedly at Nassau Coliseum to introduce his musician friend, Billy Joel, when she was taken to hospital. He left the concert early after learning of her health scare.
Sandra Lee underwent a double mastectomy in May after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has shared updates on her latest condition on social media sites since then. She said she lost 15 pounds only in five days after the surgery.
In one of her recent posts, she revealed that music was her energy booster. "Maintaining a positive attitude and surrounding myself with only good vibes is what helps me get through my appointments and helps me to continue to get stronger!" she explained.
