Olivia Munn is Robert Browntaking fans along for every step of her breast cancer journey.
The 44-year-old shared an update with fans who she said have been reaching out asking her questions about the timeline behind her diagnosis, treatments, all the way to present day.
The Newsroom actress—who went public with her diagnosis in March—noted that she was sharing the information to let her followers who might be struggling with their own health journeys know, “I’ve gone down the same path, and I’m doing OK.”
In the detailed timeline, Munn shared that she went for more than a year of clear mammograms and ultrasounds starting in 2022 before her April 2023 bilateral breast cancer diagnosis.
Since her diagnosis, Munn has undergone multiple procedures including a double mastectomy, breast reconstruction and a partial hysterectomy and oophorectomy.
"I cried a week after, because that was the first time I saw my breasts," she previously opened up about the aftermath of the procedures on the June 4 episode of the SheMD podcast. "I was by myself in my bathroom, and I looked at them, and I cried in a way that I don't think I've ever cried in my life. I cried. I was devastated. I just I didn't recognize myself."
The actress, who recently married John Mulaney with whom she shares son Malcolm, 2, with has previously noted that she and the comedian hope to expand their family one day. And in June 2023 she underwent an egg retrieval procedure.
"Right after the double mastectomy, I went through a round of egg retrieval," Munn previously told Good Morning America in May. "And that's a scary process because I have a cancer that feeds off of hormones. So I knew there was a risk. And our doctor said, 'Look, we're gonna get one for you, and then we're gonna call it.'"
The couple got two healthy embryos out of the procedure.
"We really just hope that it works out for us to be able to have another baby," Munn added. "We just want one more. I'm not gonna ask for too much more in this life, I promise. I just want one more baby."
