Amanda Peet Shares Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Amanda Peet was diagnosed with Stage I hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer last fall during her parents' hospice care, undergoing lumpectomy and radiation after a benign second mass was found.
- Amanda Peet disclosed in a New Yorker essay published Saturday, March 21 that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last fall while both parents were in hospice on opposite coasts.
- The Friday before Labor Day, her doctor disliked the ultrasound, prompting a biopsy and hand-delivering the sample to Cedars-Sinai Pathology, with results shared the next day.
- Peet learned upon returning to Los Angeles that her cancer was stage I, hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative, and doctors soon prescribed lumpectomy and radiation after a benign second mass.
- Her mother died in January shortly after a first clear scan, and two weeks later, Peet began funeral arrangements as hospice staff said her mother had days left.
- For years, doctors told Amanda Peet she had 'dense' and 'busy' breasts requiring monitoring, she used the 'poodles/pit bulls' metaphor, and Sarah Paulson praised her essay as 'profoundly gorgeous.
