Actress Olivia Munn - best known for The Predator and X-Men: Apocalypse - has sadly revealed that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer in an emotional Instagram post
Actress Olivia Munn has revealed to fans that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The star, best known for her roles in The Predator and X-Men: Apocalypse, shared her diagnosis today and said she has undergone four surgeries in the last 10 months for the aggressive cancer.
Olivia, who is mom to two-year-old son Malcolm, also gave a further insight into her cancer journey and said that she took a genetic test in February last year to check for any cancer genes, but all results came back negative including BRCA . "Surprisingly, I've only cried twice. I guess I haven't felt like there was time to cry. My focus narrowed and I tabled my emotions that I felt would interfere with my ability to stay clearheaded. I've tended to let people see me when I have energy, when I can get dressed and get out of the house, when I can take my baby boy to the park. I've kept the diagnosis and the worry and the recovery and the pain medicine and the paper gowns private.
"The biopsy showed I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast moving cancer. 30 days after that biopsy I had a double mastectomy. I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next."
