Los Angeles, Nov 4 (NationPress) Actress Drew Barrymore revealed that she recently underwent an emergency biopsy due to a bad mammogram.

In a conversation with comedian Tig Notaro, who had a double mastectomy in 2016 after being diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer, Barrymore opened up about her health scare. During an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, she stated: "This is the thing I've wanted to risk talking about on this show because - I recently had a 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 five days."

Barrymore expressed her admiration for Notaro's recent documentary Come See Me in the Good Light, which chronicles the lives of renowned poets Andrea Gibson and her wife Megan Falley as they cope with the latter's terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis.

She noted: "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. 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."

Barrymore continued: 'This documentary also gives you such an intimate portrait not only of these people's lives, but what the journey of going through cancer is like, and it is not heavy. There's confidence, courage, strength, reality, and humanity.'

Additionally, Barrymore recently celebrated her 50th birthday and shared that she has no intention of undergoing any cosmetic surgery, according to reports from people.com.

She stated: "I haven't done anything and I want to try and stay that way... but I also am like, do whatever works for you. The only thing I do know is don't judge other people because they do things differently. We're all on our own path and we have to support each other. I see a lot of turkey neck or I have a lot of other time where I'm like, 'Oh Wow, we're there now.'"
