Olivia Munn, who is battling breast cancer, disclosed that she had a complete hysterectomy in April. “I recently underwent a hysterectomy and oophorectomy. Speaking to Vogue, she stated, “I removed my ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus.”
Munn referred to the choice as “the best.” In order to prevent the cancer from coming back, her doctor has advised her to cease producing oestrogen in her body. The 43-year-old stated, “It was a big decision to make, but I needed to be present for my family, so it was the best decision for me.”
“Friends tried to lift my spirits by telling me that Malcolm wouldn’t remember this. Be at ease. However, I couldn’t stop telling myself, “I’m going to remember that I missed all these things.” She said, “I don’t want to miss any of these moments if I don’t have to. It’s his childhood, but it’s also my motherhood.
This was Munn’s fifth operation throughout her battle with cancer. She had previously had reconstructive surgery, a nipple delay, a lymph node dissection, and a full double mastectomy.
“It was crippling exhaustion of a different kind.”
Prior to having her hysterectomy, Munn had been taking Lupron to reduce the amount of oestrogen in her body. However, the negative effects of the medication left her immobile. Munn described her tiredness as “debilitating,” on a whole other level.
“As soon as I would wake up in the morning, I would feel the want to return to bed. If you were to ask Malcolm, “Where is daddy employed?” If you said to him, “Where does mommy work?” he would bolt to his desk. He would indicate my bed. It was really charming. However, it was also shattering my heart since this is how he saw me,” Munn said.
Munn also said in the interview that this was the third time she had frozen her eggs. “We thought it would be a good month to try one more round of egg retrievals after my diagnosis,” she added.
“John and I had a lot of conversations about it and we don’t think we’re done expanding our family, but I wasn’t sure if I would need radiation or chemotherapy,” she continued.
Munn made public her breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent double mastectomy in March of this year. Her doctor determined at the time, and it was supposedly 37 percent. After an MRI, she was found to have luminal B carcinoma in both breasts.
Olivia Munn recently opened up about her courageous decision to undergo a complete hysterectomy while battling breast cancer, describing it as her “best decision.” The actress and advocate shared her journey, shedding light on the challenges and emotional toll of facing such a life-altering diagnosis.
