Munn was diagnosed with breast cancer last year but kept the matter quiet until now
In an Instagram post that includes photographs of her treatment and double mastectomy, Olivia Munn revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last April. Over the past 10 months, Munn writes she received four surgeries but opted to keep her medical status private because she “needed to catch breath and get through some of the hardest parts before sharing.
Before that, Munn, “in an effort to be proactive about health,” took a “genetic test that checks you for 90 cancer genes,” including BRCA, the most common breast cancer gene. 30 days later, she had a double mastectomy, going from “feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next.” Munn says the OBGYN who told her to get an MRI and a biopsy saved her life.
