Olivia Munn has gone public with her breast cancer diagnosis. On Wednesday, the actress shared a gallery of photos and video on her verified Instagram account, showing her in the hospital, with a caption that read, “I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I hope by sharing this it will help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their own journey.” Munn also shared a statement on text slides in the post, which began, “In February of 2023, in an effort to be proactive about my health, I took a genetic test that checks for 90 different cancer genes.” “I tested negative for all, including BRCA (the most well-known breast cancer gene). My sister Sara had just tested negative as well,” Munn wrote. “We called each other and high-fived over the phone. That same winter I also had a normal mammogram. Two months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer.” The “X-Men” star, 43, went on to explain that she has undergone four surgeries in the past 10 months, including a double mastectomy performed 30 days after her biopsy. There have also been plenty of days in bed and her learning “more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined.”
