Erin Andrews had cervical cancer surgery during NFL season
LOS ANGELES — Erin Andrews says she battled cervical cancer during the NFL season, months after winning a lawsuit against a stalker.
The 38-year-old Fox Sports sideline reporter and “Dancing with the Stars” co-host tells Sports Illustrated’s MMQB she underwent surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Oct. 11.
Before she was wheeled into the operating room, Andrews says she told her oncologist: “I’m not watching any football games at home. This is (Fox’s) Super Bowl year, and I’m not missing the Super Bowl.”
She was back on the sidelines five days later. She says her doctor didn’t recommend a return to work so soon.
