Amanda Peet discusses telling her children about her breast cancer diagnosis

Amanda Peet found telling her children about her breast cancer diagnosis challenging, prioritizing her own composure before sharing the news. The actress, who received her diagnosis six months ago, explained that the difficulty lay in accepting the uncertainty and finding an appropriate moment to inform her three children. Peet's cancer is hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative, a less aggressive form requiring only a lumpectomy and radiation. Her friend Sarah Paulson publicly supported her essay on the experience.
