revealed<\/a> she battled breast cancer for five years before going public with the diagnosis. She said her life changed while taking a walk in her Los Angeles neighborhood in 2012. <\/p>\n\u201cI just couldn\u2019t go anymore,\u201d she explained. \u201cThis was before Uber was really a thing, so I texted my friend\u00a0Helen Hunt\u00a0and said, \u2018Something\u2019s wrong with me. I need help.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Following the incident, Cohn went to the doctor and had a scan performed, which showed something in her breast. Following a biopsy, it was revealed she had cancer. <\/p>\n
\u201cI kept that secret for a long time,\u201d she noted. <\/p>\n
Years following the diagnosis, Cohn said she went through a \u201csiege.\u201d She ended up undergoing a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. <\/p>\n
Although she deemed herself an optimist, Cohn was shaken when the cancer metastasized. \u201cIt kept spreading and coming back,\u201d she said. \u201cI kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then it would. And then I\u2019d wait for another shoe to drop, and it would. I was frustrated and enraged. I couldn\u2019t control any of this. I couldn\u2019t fix it.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
