Amanda Peet reveals breast cancer diagnosis

Amanda Peet revealed that a breast cancer diagnosis last fall arrived during an already difficult stretch. She wrote that for years she’d been told her breasts were “dense” and “busy,” requiring extra monitoring. The Friday before Labor Day she went for what she thought would be a routine scan, but a doctor “didn’t like the way something looked” on an ultrasound and ordered a biopsy; the clinician said she would “walk the sample over to Cedars-Sinai and hand-deliver it to Pathology.

That’s when I knew,” and results arrived the next day.
