Drew Barrymore Reacts to Real Mammogram Results | The Drew Barrymore Show

I am a 43 year old male. Last year, the day before Thanksgiving, I had to go in for a mammogram as lumps were detected in my breast tissue. As a male this was an experience that I never thought I would experience, but it opened to my eyes to the process that women have to follow each year and the anxiety and concern that comes with completing these exams. My scans were clear, which I am grateful for and the staff was very supportive and kind, which helped to calm my anxiety.
Thanks for telling your story! People still think us guys don’t need such scans.
Try researching iodine.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so glad everything turned out okay for you. I can only imagine the intense anxiety you felt. But you’re helping to remind men that it’s a possibility for them too.
If you don’t mind my asking, do you still have to get checked annually?
I hope you don’t have another scare like that again 🌸
Thank you. I am not sure. My Primary has not mentioned anything about it, but I did get a notice from the breast cancer center that it was time for another visit. I will need to check with my primary.

I am glad you got your breast checked. I strongly believe men and women need mammograms because it saves all lives it is not a woman health routine. 🌸💞
I am 68 years old and I was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago. It was found by having a mammogram. There is not a day go by that I don’t think about it one way or another. I believe I am alive today because of early detection. I am very happy to say I have remained cancer free.
I love Drew no matter what anybody else says
So great to see women like Drew, who have a huge audience, bringing attention to cancer screening. Hopefully this encourages more women to get checked and take care of their health.
Huge audience , really😅
Love that she is bringing awareness
Thank you, Drew, for bringing attention to breast cancer and the importance of mammograms!
I love Drew for being raw, real and honest. That’s Drew.🙏🏼🥰
I’m 37, I had a lump in my left breast, so far I’ve only gotten two sonograms to monitor it but now it’s grown and my doctor ordered a mammogram… I was dreading it until watching it. Thank you Drew!
Ask for a biopsy
Drew, I am 47 (soon to be 48) and grew up always thinking you were the most down to earth person who wears their heart on their sleeve
Girl you ain't lying something about turning 50 that our mortality slaps us in the face and we want nothing more than to stick around for those we love.
So True❤
Ty Drew. U probably saved many lives. The female doc was amazing. Wish we had more like her.
Thank you, Drew, for being so vulnerable/open and using your platform to educate all of us. Some people may never have done this or even know to. The questions you asked were great. Thank you so much team Drew!❤
I was just diagnosed with small lymphocytic lymphoma and leukemia during my last mammogram.
We were checking out a lipoma in my pectoralis major and I noticed a tender Axillary lymph node and so they did an ultrasound of my armpit area. They kept me in the room which they never had before and a Dr came in, he said that it looked like a malignancy, they set up a biopsy of the lymph node and boom, cancer. :((( Definitely get checked every year and don’t forget your armpits.
And Drew, thank you for making The Wedding Singer, my favorite movie of all time, it always cheers me up❤️
Praying for your full recovery❤
Drew, I love this! Thank you for making us all feel normalized in our yearly mammogram experience ❤
I have been a huge fan of Drew Barrymore since I was a little girl. My first film from her was ET and her talk show is amazing.
I applaud Drew for being so real. This could save someone’s life by just going on TV to show how easy this is. Good job 👏🏻
My mother was 42 years old when she died from Breast Cancer and i was just 15. I very recently had my entire Thyroid removed due to cancer also. If only the awareness, education and resources were available when our loved ones were going through this. Thank You to Drew and the team for shedding light on Mammograms and Breast Cancer. You Rock! 🌹🌿
I also had to have my thyroid removed. I had metastatic thyroid cancer. One year later I had breast cancer. That was about 14 yrs ago. Hoping I never have to go thru any of this ever again!
I’m so sorry for your loss
This inspired me to call and schedule my first mammogram! I just turned 40. Thanks, Drew!
I get the 3d scans. I am large breasted and have never had any pain from the mammograms. The whole process is very, very fast. It takes more time to go in the dressing room and take your shirt and bra off and put the robe on.
I am turning 40 next year. I have had a few mammograms since I was 19. It’s really not that bad. Everyone has different experiences .Having a history of cancer in my family. Trust me it’s better to know than not to know!I just love the true show she’s amazing and she looks great for turning 50.
Good job, Drew! This is so powerful and important for helping to normalise testing and caring for ourselves. ❤
Thank you for doing this segment and inviting everyone in with you. People need to see that look on your face during the squish to understand it's not scary or too painful. And your team has great tips I had never heard before!
I love Drew bringing awareness to this horrible cancer that effects many women, it's so drew showing us live footage of her getting a mammogram that's why we Love her! I'm turning 30 so I definitely will be looking into getting one myself even though docters say I'm too young but it's never too early to get checked. Also women should check their heart health as well ❤
As going through this myself I found myself holding my breath when Drew did. After my reduction it was definitely less painful. I mean there was some pain,but not as bad.
Amazing video! I was so scared when I had to start exams in my 40s. The advice of going just after your period is done is soooooo helpful. Less breast pain! Dense breasts also require ultrasound for 100% confirmation and I find those more uncomfortable than the actual pancake squeezer 😂
Not sure you yet realize what an incredible story you just put out. Have a cousin whose job used to be performing mammograms. Mom survived breast cancer. Learned so much from cousin about this process and the why’s. Mom was from generation that doesn’t talk openly about these things. Sharing saves lives!
Way to go Drew… Early detection saves lives. 💞🤗
Having a mum who had breast cancer its amazing to see you advocate for this! ❤
Wished my Mom would have told me about her Breast Cancer she told me but said it was cured! She died in 1985 no treatment by that time I only found out about getting a mammo late in life I had stage 3 and its come back to my lungs. 32 rounds of raditation, 7 chemo's 4 surgeries. Biospy November on life side. Thanks Mom! Our cancer hits you every 10 years it hit me when I was 60 and how 70. Just changed Medical Centers has I was not getting the cure I needed.
I applaud you! I am 63 and started at 40!! I got called back and had to do ultrasound. Luckily it was a cyst that turned into notjing! Get the mammogram. Every year. Do it for you your loved ones. God speed!
Thank you for doing this, Drew! My sister had breast cancer, so I had to start imaging in my 20s, and it was so nerve-wracking in the beginning. I still become nervous when going in for my annual mammogram, but I know that if a result does come back positive, I understand all the information to move forward.
Thank you for being brave!
Drew is sweet. She's very cloying and she constantly moves her head around.
Oh this is actually great you did that. Thank you!
I call it the annual smash and grab, but the mammogram technician is so good, she's professional and quick. I look forward to it actually ❤. Black woman over 50.... 😂
I got my 1st mamo this year. It was awful. I was shaking in pain and the tech didn’t care.
This place looks amazing.
This makes me hope I can find a better place.
I have never had one because my breast have always been somewhat painful even being hugged...at 68 I doubt I will ever do it...plus I have read reports where all the radiation can actually cause cancer...so with no history of any type of cancers in my family, I will pass...never been offered this type of screening anyway
@@vickieyoung7122 I have heard that as well. It is nice to be shown other options, at the end of the day you have to do what seems right to you.
Oh my God I’m sorry what you went through
Same here in norway. So painful. Nurses did not care. " oh that doesnt hurt, dear". Sure....😢 But no cancer.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. LOVE to you!
Than you Drew❤ Important message! And ..3D BABY! Survivor here. Had skipped a mammo for 3 years. My GP sent me for this new device, the 3D, and found breast cancer. It would have likely gone undetected with the traditional equipment at the time. Shock and disbelief, i told the doctor they made a mistake. But a year of appts, surgeries, chemo, radiation and I’m 7 going on 8 years cancer free! 🎉🎉🎉
Well the one lady doing her mammogram she told drew think of the mammogram as getting your blood pressure checked as the cuff squeezes, thats about right but not so true if you suffer with cyst in the breast, and i have them for yrs and mammogram for me always makes my breast sore for a week. and it swells to. drew must not have what i have but i have gotten mammos for yrs and iam 66 now got my first one at age 35. glad drew got her mammo done.
Scheduling my first mammogram right now at 45. Shame on me!! Thank you Drew!! So very much!!❤
How was your first mammogram? What is painful?
Drew, TY for bringing awareness & positivity to women having regularly scheduled mammograms. Love your humor.. you should see the rack on my last deer. 🦌
I have been getting a mammogram since my aunt came down with breast cancer. My moon died when I was 5 years old. I go every year and get one done. I an 66 years old now. I try to take care of myself.
Breast cancer survivor of less than a year here! 50 at diagnosis. Mine was detected during my annual mammogram.
Thank you Drew for letting us follow your journey. I have a mammogram every year!
Just had mine (clear - yay!). Never EVER miss it. Surprised to hear it wasn't a discussion in her home growing up. Rather TMI than not enough.
Knowing one's family history and risk factors is so important. Depending on those, one might have to get tested before one's 40s. Also, not to scare anyone off, but "uncomfortable" is an understatement. Mammograms can be painful, but the pain passes. Pain-wise, I prefer a mammogram over a pap smear any day. Oh, the joy of being a woman and having to go through uncomfortable exams that men don't have to deal with!
THANK YOU! I'm 33 with a family history of breast cancer and was not looking forward to doing this. I'm less scared now, ty
Great job Drew! I just went to the doctor after 10 years. I was “forced” as my Thyroid Doc retired and had to go in order to update my script I was on for 2 decades. She guilted me into getting a mammogram and it was painless, quick and efficient. I have dense breast tissues and that just means it’s mostly fat! The worse part of it all was the tech was a girl I went to high school with ……small talk while you’re getting felt up!
I get them regularly since I was 29 years old. It's no big deal. A few minutes of slight pain is every couple of years is nothing compared to the intangible fear of getting bc or chemo and radiation therapy or surgery. I don't have any history of it in my family. Do it.
This isn't really an important point but I appreciate being able to keep my little patient robe on so just one side is exposed at a time. Maybe Drew has hers done without the cover up for a better view for TV. Proud of Drew doing this a s sharing how it's done 🤗. Yes it's a bit painful, but worth it. 🌸
Thanks Drew
My cousin died from breast cancer in her 50’s. She had her yearly mammograms, but then in between felt a lump, which turned out to be malignant. She past away within a year (or less). May she RIP.
So important! Thank you, Drew. I too have dense breasts (let's start a club - lol) and had the 3d screening done last year. So easy peasy. I just closed my eyes and it was done.
So I am a survivor of 13 years. I had to have a bi lateral mastectomy...very involved...not able to have reconstruction at 52. I get my yearly exam...but have never been offered anything other than an ultrasound...no 3d... apparently it is expensive and not covered by insurance. To have the financial means to have a 3D....not many in this country can afford one. Please use your voice to advocate for 3D for all!! My daughter is a scientist....is using her 23 and me results to tell me she only has a 12 % chance of breast cancer. How can I get it through her head to get a screening mammogram? She is 39. Thank you for doing this very important public screening. I love watching your show...we don't agree politically on many issues, but you seem like a genuine person and I respect that.
Love you for this ❤
Thank you for highlighting this. In Switzerland, we only qualify for mammograms from the age of 50!! 😤
I'm 56 and just had mine done. I chose the 3D one which is what Drew is using here. I thought it would be less painful than the normal one. Nope! Squished and hurt but not for long.
Freaking love, “I’ve got a much nicer rack than I give myself credit for” ain’t that the truth haha happy healthy is the sexiest
For all the women thinking about starting hormone replacement, (just a gentle reminder) there’s about .2 % chance of breast cancer due to estrogen hormone. I was 52 when I found my tumor. The biopsy showed tumor consisted of estrogen. It’s called mucinous carcinoma. I had seeked hormone replacement therapy & was prescribed estrogen. I blamed myself for many years since the diagnosis. Moral of the story, if you think mental fogginess is awful part of menopause, it is worst with breast cancer diagnosis 🙏🏻😢
Thanks so much Drew!!!! I have been so scared to get a Mammogram - My Mom passed away of Cancer /Kidneys - I keep getting letters from the Department of Health I am 56 -- and get a free screening -- WOW -- Your Amazing!!! Loved you since ET That I saw In Theaters .... Now I am not scared to get mine Thanks Lovely!!!!!!!!!! 🙃
I cannot have mammograms. Every time I have had one I pass out from the pain. I have never made it through an entire mammogram. I now have ultrasounds.
Thermography is better. Rather than exposing to radiation constantly. Insurances dont cover everything we need.
Yes! She could do better and educate her audience on Theromgraphy, and ways of prevention. Not ways of constant radiation and abuse of women's sensitive parts. Only a man could have invented that horrible machine.
@@creativegirl9710❤❤❤24 months after my first mammogram in my life, I got breast cancer. Each breast was squeezed 8 times. After that, I had bruises for a week. I know that if I hadn't gone for it then, I wouldn't have gotten this cancer. The lump was exactly where the bruise was.
My mom was diagnosed earlier this year with breast cancer, my grandma in the mid-90's. I've always felt that it was coming for me. So far they've both beaten it. (Suzanne Somers is why I put the so far)
(I had this procedure as a Man and boy it Is uncomfortable .Respect!👍🏼✨
Drew Barrymore 🌹❤️❤️❤️ prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Good to see you back
Thanks for sharing drew Barrymore i need to get a mammogram
Good luck drew Barrymore I will pray for you ok.
It definitely hurts!
The 3D is a much better machine. I just had mine last week-and I felt like this machine isn’t as uncomfortable, and the edges are more rounded so they don’t stab your armpits!!
Use the technology available. Many years ago women and men weren’t as fortunate. Early detection is key. ❤
Love your hair colour ❤
I don’t understand why they don’t promote ultrasound exams vs the vice?
❤Drew❤
I m a man but coming from a family of cancerous people. Thank you Drew!
Great segment!
Shirley here, I don't need Drew who grew up crazy as a child and couldn't even keep her marriages going tell me about mammograms. I already know this. Drew has really aged.
I’m 51 and never had one. It has never been recommended for me.
Why do you have jewelry on during X-ray? I’m always told to take off!
love you drew.
Next year I’ll be 40 so I had to prepare myself to do my first mammogram, and I’m really scared.
Mammogram detected my early stage 2 Estrogen Positive Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer. I’m now 11 years out. Ladies get your Mammogram’s done.
We don't have mammogram machines where I live in Indonesia. They just use ultrasound. I wonder if it is accurate enough. I went a year ago because I had a couple of small lumps and the doctor said he didn't think it was cancer, that maybe we should check again later with a biopsy. It hasn't been followed up yet, I still have the lumps and sometimes I have a lot of pain and discomfort in my breast. It is worrisome.
I wish Breast Cancer would have been a manageable “Chronic Condition” before my mom died of it in 1993.❤With all the billions of dollars being thrown at this disease, I wonder why they haven’t been able to find a cure for it as yet. ❤Prayers to all who have it and hope you live a long and healthy and happy life❤
I was so worried about getting a mammogram and honestly it wasn’t bad at all, def not what I had worked it up to be in my brain. It’s more comical the positions you have to get in to get your boobs to squish in the way they want lol!

If you don’t know about mammogram screenings, your head is definitely buried in the sand or you just don’t wanna do it
Wish insurance covered thermo mammogram 😢
*Go💯Drew*
I'm 66 and I've never had a mammogram. I'm not going to either.
Why?
Try having a port and doing one
I want to scream this far and wide: I have had several mammograms and none of them would I describe as “very uncomfortable”. I watched an Oprah episode years ago, and the women on the show described mammograms as being 8/10 on a pain scale. Ridiculous. Stop scaring people. I have almost zero pain threshold and at worst a mammogram is a 3!
You’re a good egg Drew
It hurts a whole heck of a lot more than a blood pressure cuff. Either she’s lying, or she’s not doing it correctly.
Yeah it does. Lol. I’ve had lots of them and rather have my Blood pressure taken. Lol
Just reminded me i need to schedule mine. Ive had 1 when i turned 40. Its awful if youre big chested 😂
I'm a 44DD had several mammograms & never thought it that bad however I feel for the flat chested women (not enough there to flatten). :(
@@mamawfrancy I also have fibromyalgia so maybe that's why it hurts me so much but yeah, flat chested couldn't be that comfy either haha
I did not know women normally waited until their 40s?! I’ve been going every two years since my late 20s.
I rather go for mammogram then Pap smear it best doctor apointment
Don't forget that men can get it too.. I know a guy who diagnosed with it a week after his sister.
No!!!
I take pain killers beforehand
They don't allow women to have yearly exams. If you have clean reads then it's every five years. My sister would have died if she didn't insist on one.
Depends where you live. I’ve been going every two years since my late 20s. I am nearly 48 now and I’ve had many mammograms.
