During a recent emotional episode of \u201cThe Drew Barrymore Show,\u201d<\/a> host Drew Barrymore<\/a>, 50, revealed she\u2019d experienced a significant health scare after receiving a \u201cbad mammogram.\u201d<\/p>\n Barrymore shared the tense details of her experience while interviewing comedian and breast cancer survivor Tig Notaro, 54, on the Nov. 3rd episode.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the thing I\u2019ve wanted to risk talking about on this show because I recently had a scare,\u201d Barrymore told Notaro and audiences.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m 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 for those for five days,\u201d Barrymore said of awaiting her biopsy results. <\/p>\n Notaro, who underwent a double mastectomy after her 2012 diagnosis, empathized, noting, \u201cIt\u2019s a long wait.\u201d<\/p>\n As their conversation continued, Barrymore asked Notaro how she came to terms with her diagnosis. Notaro explained that the experience really changed her perspective on asking others for help.<\/p>\n \u201cIt cracked me open, completely,\u201d Notaro said. \u201cI went from being somebody that held everything to myself… I was going to do it on my own and [said], \u2018I\u2019m OK.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The comedian recalled struggling after surgery when she couldn\u2019t even lift her arms, and urged others facing similar health challenges to accept help from others.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I can\u2019t encourage people enough to do is get over any sort of feeling that you can\u2019t ask for help, or to act like you don\u2019t need anybody, like I was doing,\u201d Notaro said. <\/p>\n \u201cIt was the greatest gift you can give yourself and the people that love you, because people want to help, people want to do good. It changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n Notaro also used her time on \u201cThe Drew Barrymore Show\u201d to promote her new documentary, \u201cCome See Me In the Good Light,\u201d which she was a producer for. <\/p>\n The documentary, which drops on Apple TV+<\/a> on Nov. 14, follows poet Andrea Gibson as she navigates an incurable cancer diagnosis alongside her partner, Megan Falley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
