Oliva Munn revealed her breast cancer diagnosis and that she has undergone four surgeries, including a double mastectomy.

Wednesday, March 13, 2024 10:00PMThe "X-Men: Apocalypse" actress, 43, revealed in an Instagram post Wednesday that she was diagnosed with the disease in April 2023. In the post, she shared several photos and a video of her in the hospital, as well as a lengthy statement detailing all she had been through since receiving the news.

In her statement, Munn explained that she and her sister Sara did genetic testing that "checks you for 90 different cancer genes" in February 2023, which all came back negative, including one for the BRCA gene. She said her most recent mammogram around that time had also been negative.
