Olivia Munn has two viable embryos after hysterectomy and removal of ovaries

LA Times  

Olivia Munn revealed her initial cancer diagnosis in March and has since had multiple surgeries to fight the disease. Olivia Munn revealed she underwent a hysterectomy and had both ovaries removed in her fight against breast cancer — but with two new viable frozen embryos banked, she says her and her family’s future is bright. Munn revealed her luminal B breast cancer diagnosis from a hospital bed in March, saying on social media, “I hope by sharing this it will help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their own journey.” She underwent four surgeries in 10 months, including a double mastectomy, lymph-node dissection, reconstructive surgery and a nipple delay, which saves the nipple from removed breast tissue so Munn wouldn’t have to tattoo nipples on her reconstructed chest. According to the Mayo Clinic, luminal B breast cancer is more aggressive than other forms and feeds on the body’s estrogen — which made it necessary for Munn’s doctors to induce early menopause. However, taking an estrogen-suppressing drug, Lupron, to induce menopause left Munn with “next-level, debilitating exhaustion.” “I would wake up in the morning and almost immediately need to get back into bed,” she told Vogue.
