Story summary

Amanda Peet, an actress known for her role in "The Whole Nine Yards," revealed on the Today show that she noticed something unusual about her skin while getting dressed. Initially unsure of what it was but suspecting it wasn't serious, she had an MRI which led doctors to monitor the area closely over time. Six months later during a routine scan, her doctor found concerning signs and eventually diagnosed Peet with lobular breast cancer last fall. She emphasized that her initial perception of breast cancer symptoms being more pronounced than what she experienced changed her perspective on early detection significantly.
