ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – Food Network star Sandra Lee has been hospitalized for complications from a recent double mastectomy.
Lee was rushed to the hospital Tuesday night to deal with a buildup of fluids and is expected to be monitored for a couple of days.
The 49-year-old “Semi-Homemade Cooking” star had surgery in May after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis.
Her live-in boyfriend, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, left a Billy Joel concert at Nassau Coliseum early to be with Lee when he learned of her hospitalization. Cuomo, who is friends with Joel, introduced the musician at the concert.
The hospitalization was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person close to the family who wasn’t authorized to speak about Lee’s medical condition and spoke on condition of anonymity.
