Olivia Munn's Breast Cancer and the Test that Saved Her Life

In this episode, actress, activist, and author Olivia Munn gives a heart-wrenching account of her experience undergoing a double mastectomy for breast cancer just one year after giving birth to her son, whom she shares with partner John Mulaney. In 2023, Olivia Munn started the year with a routine mammogram and genetic testing for 90 cancer genes. Despite negative results, Dr. Aliabadi, who delivered Olivia’s baby, calculated Olivia’s lifetime risk of breast cancer to be high and encouraged additional testing. This further assessment ultimately saved Olivia’s life. Two months after her negative mammogram, Olivia was diagnosed with luminal B, an aggressive form of cancer in both breasts. Dr. Aliabadi, who similarly had a double mastectomy and breast cancer that was initially missed, explains how Olivia’s cancer alluded initial testing. The conversation turns to Olivia’s determination to live for her young child, the aftermath of being extremely candid about her cancer battle online, and the armor needed to face the unimaginable.
