Olivia Munn is continuing to open up about her cancer battle.
As Perezcious readers know, the actress first revealed her scary diagnosis in March, once a lot of the battle had been fought. She’d already undergone a double mastectomy after learning she had Luminal B breast cancer. She also had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy to surgically remove her uterus and ovaries. And she underwent a round of egg retrieval in hopes of having one more child with John Mulaney (alongside their 2-year-old son Malcolm).

But this is when her doctor suggested she do a lifetime risk assessment test as well. She did — and found she had a 37.3% chance of developing breast cancer at some point (which is considered “high risk”).

After all these tests, the X-Men: Apocalypse star was called into her doctor’s office for the dreaded appointment to find out if it was cancer. She recalled the emotional meeting, in which her doc told her:
And it’s that tough love that ended up being such a game-changer!
