Olivia Munn flaunts mastectomy scars in new photoshoot: 'Done being insecure'
Olivia Munn said she's "done being insecure" about her mastectomy scars as she posed for pictures and showed them off in a recent photoshoot.
In an Instagram post, the actress recalled the time she decided to embrace and flaunt them. "In the middle of this latest SKIMS campaign shoot, I decided I was done being insecure about my mastectomy scars," she opened up.
"Every mark life has left behind on my body is proof of how hard I fought," she added. "I hope other women who have been self-conscious about their scars see these photos and feel all the love I’m sending."
Munn revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in March as she shared she underwent a double mastectomy.
At the time, the 43-year-old said the cancer had been discovered almost a year ago after her doctor noted she was at elevated risk for the disease and suggested she undergo an additional scan, 12 months before a routine screening.
I wouldn't have found my cancer for another year—at my next scheduled mammogram," she told her social media followers.
After initial tests, a biopsy was ordered.
"The biopsy showed I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast moving cancer," she wrote, adding that the double mastectomy was performed 30 days later.
"I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next," she wrote in a post, with photos taken apparently during her treatment.
"I'm lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options. I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day." (with reports from AFP)
