Olivia Munn, 43, diagnosed with breast cancer, reveals she underwent double mastectomy

Olivia Munn announced Wednesday that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023 and underwent a double mastectomy shortly thereafter.

The “Newsroom” alum, 43, explained that she and her sister Sara Potts tested negative for the BRCA gene — the most well-known gene to cause cancer — and her mammogram came back clear, but her doctor decided to calculate her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score just in case.

“The fact that she did saved my life,” Munn wrote in a lengthy statement shared on Instagram, noting that her lifetime risk was 37 percent.

Her doctor prompted the actress to go for an MRI, then an ultrasound and finally a biopsy that confirmed she had luminal B cancer in both breasts, which is an “aggressive, fast moving cancer.”

Munn underwent a double mastectomy 30 days later and has gone through four surgeries total over the past 10 months.

“I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next,” she wrote.
