Olivia Munn details ‘terrifying’ breast cancer battle: Treatments put me into medically induced menopause

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.

respective cancer treatments.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be hoping for a temporary return to the UK’s royal fold, and have reportedly reached out to the Prince and Princess of Wales to make it happen.“A reconciliation with Harry and Meghan is totally possible, 100%,” the King’s former butler, Grant Harrold, exclusively told The Post. “I can believe, without any doubt, that Harry will be in touch with Kate and William and offering his help — whether they accept it or not is a very different matter, but I honestly believe Harry would have reached out personally and Meghan.”“Sadly, it’s times like this that brings families together and blood is thicker than water,” added Harrold.While they want to help the struggling royal family at a time of great emotional distress, it’s believed that the Sussexes are only interested in returning as working royals “on their own terms.”The Post revealed in February that Charles had been toying with the idea of having Harry back on a temporary basis, despite the Duke being kept at arm’s length from ongoing succession talks.But it soon emerged that Prince William was reportedly “blocking” Harry’s return to the royal fold in a desperate bid to protect his ailing wife.Harrold’s hopeful comments echo a similar sentiment expressed by royal commentator and historian Richard Fitzwilliams, who said the current situation could provide the “perfect opportunity” to mend the royal rift.“This is a dread situation, a major operation followed by cancer,” he said this week.
