On September 5, Desperate Housewives star Dana Delany had a breast checkup on national TV. During Stand Up to Cancer, an hour-long broadcast that raised $100 million for breast cancer by running commercial-free on all three major networks, Delany invited the cameras to document her clinical breast exam, mammogram, and ultrasound. Afterward, she sat down with her doctor to look at images of a suspicious lump that turned out to be benign (but will require a follow-up).
