Wanda Sykes Has No Regrets About Her Double Mastectomy: 'It Was My Boobs or My Life' (Exclusive)

The comedian, 60, is appearing in a new Super Bowl ad to raise awareness for breast cancer. She says she 'feels great' after her 2011 diagnosis and that her wife Alex and their 15-year-old twins help keep her healthy.

The cancer was discovered after Sykes underwent breast reduction surgery, and the comedian opted for a double mastectomy as a preventive measure. Although she admits the "bounce back" is a little tougher now ("you can't just walk off stuff anymore like you used to"), she says aging — and being on the other side of menopause has its pros too. The whole family will be watching on Sunday — "they think it's pretty cool that their mom's in the Super Bowl," says Sykes, who's rooting for Philadelphia("Go birds," she cheers as she holds up an Eagles ball cap).
