Actor Olivia Munn announced Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Actor Olivia Munn announced Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The 43-year-old star revealed she's undergone surgeries and a double mastectomy, after a mammogram last year led to the diagnosis.
“In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can’t even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined,” Munn shared in an Instagram post. “Surprisingly, I’ve only cried twice. I guess I haven’t felt like there was time to cry. My focus narrowed and I tabled any emotions that I felt would interfere with my ability to stay clearheaded.”
"The Newsroom" actor said her diagnosis came after her OB-GYN decided to calculate her breast cancer risk assessment score.
"The fact that she did saved my life," Munn wrote in the post.
