OFF THE SIDE LINES Erin Andrews braved the spotlight while facing cervical cancer PHOTO BY MIKE MCGREGOR/STRINGER/GETTY BY SHELLEY FLANNERY N FL fans had front-row seats to sideline reporter Erin Andrews' bout with cervical cancer in 2016. They just didn't know it. The Fox Sports reporter and Dancing with the Stars co-host learned of her diagnosis on a Saturday morning in 2016 while in a meeting at the New York Giants team facility. She had surgery the following Tuesday and returned to the field that Sunday. Before being wheeled into the operating room, Andrews had strict orders for her oncologist, according to Sports Illustrated: "I'm not watching any football games at home. This is [Fox's] Super Bowl year, and I'm not missing the Super Bowl." SUMME R 2018 11
