Sandra Lee, best known for her show Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee, recently rocked an 'F U Cancer' dress at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 30th Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party. The dress was designed by Ukranian designer Anait Mkrtchian just four weeks after undergoing a hysterectomy, and seven years after she underwent a double mastectomy battling breast cancer. The fully sheer dress was embroidered with flowers and vines, accessorizing on her own with a vintage pearl-shaped Chanel minaudière, Senso Saint Tropez pearl and diamond earrings, and Christian Louboutin sandals.

"It makes me so happy to read your notes…Regarding the surgery - honestly it was a bit rough, but I am resting (hard for me you know I like to work), I am sleeping a lot and I have set my alarm to stay ahead of the pain relief medication, Lordy this is painful I have to say," she wrote the day after her operation.

"Surgeries are so brutal but I'm still glad I did it. Once they got the IV in, wonderful anti-nausea meds I felt much better," she wrote at the time. "Ben stayed with me as long as he could, he was so patient. To take my mind off of what was going on we researched beautiful villages that we could drive to this summer. I have such Wanderlust. No amount of time on this beautiful planet will be long enough."

In August 2015, she was rushed to the hospital with an infection following the mastectomy. It was a really troublesome time for her as she navigated her new health woes. "She has tried hard to avoid surgery, but with no luck," her rep said at the time. "She just wants to finish this part of her life and be healthy and well. She would like to fast forward to the future."
