RX: EARLY DETECTION A Cancer Journey With Sandra Lee is the intense story of how the Semi-Homemade chef conquered one of life’s toughest battles after her routine annual mammogram delivered a cancer diagnosis.

The film, which is executively produced by Sandra Lee & Cathy Chermol Schrijver, details the television chef’s battle with breast cancer in 2015, including her early diagnosis and successful double mastectomy. It will feature never-before-seen footage of interviews, hospital visits, surgeries, and other private moments with friends and family.

Audiences will also be able to watch the film on TV, as HBO Documentary Films will be airing RX: EARLY DETECTION this October to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
