Olivia Munn revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in an Instagram post she shared on March 13. The post includes a series of photos and videos of Munn, 43, in the hospital and a letter she wrote describing how she came to be diagnosed. “I hope by sharing this it will help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their own journey,” the actor wrote in her caption. In the letter, Munn explained that she was diagnosed in February 2023 after undergoing a course of genetic tests.
While she tested negative for the BRCA gene, a mutation commonly linked to breast cancer, and had a clear mammogram, Munn's OB-GYN later determined she had a 37% lifetime risk of having breast cancer. So, Munn underwent an MRI, an ultrasound and a biopsy. “Two months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” she wrote. She has luminal B cancer in both breasts, which Munn described as “an aggressive, fast moving cancer.” If it weren't for her OB-GYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, Munn said she wouldn’t have been diagnosed for another yea
