The 43-year-old celebrity was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023 and underwent a double mastectomy soon after.
American actress and model Olivia Munn underwent complex surgery due to aggressive breast cancer. She had a double mastectomy. He spoke about it on Instagram.
According to him, last year the star passed a test that checks the presence of 90 different cancer genes in the body. A thorough examination showed a negative result, but the doctor decided to make it safe by ordering additional tests.
“In the past ten months, I’ve had four surgeries and been in bed for more days than I can count. I’ve learned more about cancer, its treatment, and hormones than I ever thought possible. I kept the diagnosis a secret so’ t people wouldn’t they saw my anxiety and hospital gowns,” shared the celebrity.
Olivia Munn noted that she considers herself lucky, because the disease was discovered almost at an early stage. Doctors found that the risk was 37%. Tests revealed he had Luminal B cancer, a fast-growing, aggressive form of the disease. A month later, Olivia had a 10-hour double mastectomy.
“I was lucky. We caught it quickly and I had options. I want the same for any woman who someday has to deal with this. Have your doctor calculate your breast cancer risk estimate. If this number is more than 20%, you need an annual undergo mammography and MRI of the breast starting from the age of 30,” the celebrity addressed her fans.
