Olivia Munn is detailing her Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, which led to a double mastectomy, four surgeries in 10 months and treatments that put her into medically induced menopause.“I was not someone who obsessed over death or was afraid of it in any way,” Munn, 43, told People in its latest cover story. “But having a little baby at home made everything much more terrifying.”Last month, the “Newsroom” star announced she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer after several tests indicated she had luminal B — an aggressive and fast-moving form of cancer — in both of her breasts.“You realize cancer doesn’t care who you are; it doesn’t care if you have a baby or if you don’t have time,” she said, referring to her 2-year-old son, Malcolm, whom she shares with comedian John Mulaney.
“It comes at you, and you have no choice but to face it head-on.”Shortly after her diagnosis, Munn told the outlet that she underwent a lymph node dissection, a nipple delay procedure and a double mastectomy. “I had amazing doctors, but it was still a negotiation sometimes on what we are doing,” Munn explained.
“But I’m glad I did. I want to give myself the best shot of keeping the parts of me that I can keep.”Just three months prior, Munn was given the all-clear by doctors during her annual mammogram and had tested negative for the breast cancer gene.
“I was walking around thinking that I had no breast cancer,” she recalled. “I did all the tests that I knew about.” “There’s so much information, and you’re making these huge decisions for the rest of your life,” she went on.
“I really tried to be prepared, but the truth is that nothing could prepare me for what I would feel like, what it would look like and how I would handle it emotionally. It was

Kate Middleton, owner of the borough’s most used treadmill and curling tongs, prepared to marry Prince William.If the princess had gotten herself a diary in those heady pre-wedding days she could have plotted out those very same events – Trooping, Ascot blah blah blah – only she could have added one major red-letter outing of her own.For years now, by and large, Kate has used the early months of each new year to debut some new big, bold bit of her marquee early childhood work.Let us take a Princess Anne-approved canter down memory lane.In January 2020, Kate launched the Five Big Questions survey, which saw 500,000 Brits take part in a landmark survey about the state of early childhood.The beginning of 2021 proved a bit of a bugger thanks to the perfidious spread of a certain virus and the fact that someone had to pop round to sanitize the Crown Jewels.Still in June of that year Kate was able to launch the Royal Foundation for Early Childhood. (William has no foundation of his own, it’s worth noting.)In February 2022 the show was back on the road with the princess heading to Denmark for a two-day trip to learn about the Scandinavian nation’s world-leading approach.

We also reported on Catherine’s request for privacy and detailed the statement from Kensington Palace regarding the princess having the right to privacy in relation to her medical issues.”“We always give careful consideration to the editorial decisions we make,” the BBC added.
