has revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy, thanking her doctors and urging fans to calculate their own risk assessment.
鈥淚'm lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options. I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day,鈥� with photos and a video of her being treated at a hospital.
Munn said she took a genetic test in February 2023 that checks for 90 different cancer genes and was negative for all. Even so, her doctor decided to calculate her and that 鈥渟aved my life,鈥� Munn wrote.
Recording a high score, Munn had imaging tests and then got a biopsy, which found she had an aggressive form of cancer in both breasts. She had a double mastectomy 30 days after the biopsy and has had four surgeries in the past 10 months. She said she kept it private because 鈥淚 needed to catch my breath and get through some of the hardest parts before sharing.鈥�
Munn thanked family and friends, especially her partner, comedian John Mulaney, 鈥渇or being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up, always placing framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.鈥�
Munn was a correspondent on 鈥淭he Daily Show with Jon Stewart鈥� and her movie credits include "Magic Mike,鈥� 鈥淭he Predator,鈥� 鈥淥ffice Christmas Party鈥� and 鈥淴-Men: Apocalypse.鈥�
