Olivia Munn reveals her mother has breast cancer, a year after her own cancer diagnosis: ‘Even more heartbreaking'
Olivia's post
In a new post on Instagram on Thursday, Olivia shared a picture with her mom and wrote in the caption, 'My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. You may know that when I talk about my own battle with cancer I bring up the Lifetime Risk Assessment test that saved my life. I never would've predicted it would save my mom's life as well. ❤️'
In the post, she shared a long note to share the details. It began, 'After my own breast cancer diagnosis in 2023, I urged my mother and sister to take the Breast Cancer Lifetime Risk Assessment test. My mother scored 26.2%. Her yearly mammogram had just come out clear but because of that high score I insisted she get an MRI. Shortly after that MRI, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 1 Her 2 breast cancer. From my mom being there after my double mastectomy to me being there after hers. From me having to find an oncologist, to my mom and I sharing one. I can tell you this: going through cancer is really hard. But there's something about watching a loved one go through it that is even more heartbreaking.'
'She's handled all of this with bravery and humor'
She went on to add, "I want to say how proud I am of my mom. She's handled all of this with bravery and humor while still driving us crazy (just days after her double mastectomy she tried to do laundry and make dinner- she's insane.)'
Last year, Olivia had revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. Olivia was a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and her movie credits include Magic Mike, The Predator, Office Christmas Party and X-Men: Apocalypse.
