MONDAY, May 13, 2024 -- Actress and"X-men" star Olivia Munn has revealed that she underwent egg retrieval and then a hysterectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
“It was a big decision to make, but it was the best decision for me because I needed to be present for my family," Munn said."I had friends try to cheer me up by saying, ‘Malcolm’s not going to remember this. Don’t worry.’" In the post, she explained that in February of last year, she and her sister Sara both decided to undergo testing that looked for 90 different cancer genes.
Munn says she's also spent time learning"more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined.” According to the Breast Cancer Foundation Susan G. Komen,"women with luminal B tumors are often diagnosed at a younger age."
