“I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next,” she wrote on Instagram.
Alongside a photo of herself smiling in a hospital bed, Munn shared several slides of text detailing the trajectory of her health journey. She said that she and her sister took a genetic test “in an effort to be proactive about health” in February 2023, and were thrilled to have tested negative for BRCA, the most well-known breast cancer gene. She had also had a normal mammogram. “We called each other and high-fived over the phone,” she wrote.
Munn, who shares a young son, Malcolm, with comedian John Mulaney, said that she has kept her journey private until now to have space to heal. “In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can’t even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment, and hormones than I ever could have imagined,” she wrote. “Surprisingly, I’ve only cried twice. I guess I haven’t felt like there was time to cry.
