Drew Barrymore is opening up about a health scare.
On Monday (November 3), Tig Notaro appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show where she talked to the 50-year-old Charlie’s Angels actress about undergoing a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in 2016.
During their chat, Drew revealed that she recently had a breast cancer “scare.”

“I’m completely fine, but I did get a bad mammogram and I got taken into that room and then I had an emergency biopsy and I waited those 5 days,” she explained.
Earlier in the episode, Drew hinted at being personally touched by Tig‘s new project Come See Me in the Good Light. The comedian co-produced the new documentary, which is about celebrated poets Andrea Gibson and her wife, Megan Falley, and how they navigated their lives after Andrea’s terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis.
“I have been wanting to discuss a certain subject on this show, and I did not know how. It is a very tough one to approach,” Drew said. “But, having seen your documentary, I feel like I might be able to start scratching the surface here because of what you guys were brave enough, bold enough and smart enough to put out into the world, which is clearly being embraced, so I think that also gives us a little more confidence.”
Come See Me in the Good Light will be released on Apple TV on November 14.
Drew also recently revealed that one of her daughters was involved in a scary e-bike accident.
