Munn spoke with Vogue magazine regarding the five surgeries she has undergone since she was diagnosed with luminal B breast cancer in both breasts in April 2023. According to Munn, her doctor decided the best course of action was to ensure her body no longer produces estrogen.

Olivia Munn has revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The actress shared in an Instagram post that she hoped that sharing her diagnosis would help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their journey.
She explained that in February 2023, she took a genetic test that checked her for 90 different cancer genes, and she tested negative for all of them, including Brca, which is the most well-known breast cancer gene.
This past winter, she had a normal mammogram, and two months later, she found out she had breast cancer.
“In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can’t even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined,” she wrote. “Surprisingly, I’ve only cried twice. I guess I haven’t felt like there was time to cry. My focus narrowed and...
