Washington DC [US], March 25 (ANI): Amanda Peet has shared how her children have supported her amid her breast cancer diagnosis, revealing that Frances, 19, Molly, 15, and Henry, 11, have been 'great' during this challenging time.

In an interview with E! News, the actress opened up about the difficulty of finding the right time to inform her kids.

Peet, who is currently working on the second season of Your Friends & Neighbors, admitted that the hardest part of her diagnosis was realizing there was no perfect moment to tell her children. 'I definitely had to get myself together before including them,' she said, according to E! News.

In her March 21 essay published in The New Yorker, Amanda shared that her cancer was hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative, meaning it is less aggressive and often easier to treat than more aggressive forms of breast cancer. She also noted that she would 'only need a lumpectomy and radiation,' not a double mastectomy.

Despite her children's support, Peet humorously recalled how they reacted when she tried to show them Something's Gotta Give, the 2003 film she starred in with Jack Nicholson. 'They watched five minutes of it and saw me with Jack Nicholson--they turned it off. They were like, 'This is reprehensible. This is ethically dubious, and we're out,'' she laughed, acording to E! News.

However, Peet noted that her daughters have recently begun to show interest in her wardrobe, signaling a shift in their relationship. 'For so long, it was like, 'What are you wearing, mom? Why are you so uncool?'' she shared. 'And then all of a sudden, I was like, 'Oh, look at you. Look who's coming in my closet',' acording to E! News.

Season two of Your Friends & Neighbors premieres on Apple TV April 3. (ANI)
