  • I met her a few times in Los Angeles. She is EXTREMELY nice. Sad to hear this. Wishing you a speedy recovery, and long healthy life.

    What an ordeal to go through so young. That baby is exceptionally cute. I hope he has his momma well into old age. Good luck in your healing journey, Olivia. Sending you and your family healing vibes.

    My wife just had breast cancer , we caught it early and luckily we caught it quickly and treated it and it was caught and it looks like a clear diagnosis .
  • I have to say that I didn’t know much about her b4. This interview was very eye opening and honest. Not only is she gorgeous, but she’s down to earth and real. I wish her health and healing 🙏🏼
  • @rovermiles1
    Absolutely courageous; and so beautiful inside and out.
  • @oneisnone7350
    I used to watch her on Attack of the Show! She has always seemed like such a genuinely nice person.

    All the sort of screening an ordinary American would never get - mammogram and sent home, then every visit to the hospital visit would show a clear mammogram and they would be stage four before they could treat it
  • Some very mean comments here. I hope you never have to suffer what this woman has been through. No one is perfect, what does it say about your empathy, compassion and forgiveness? This is a harsh world with people making it either better or worse. My heart goes out to anyone suffering in any form.
  • My heart goes out to Olivia. Olivia is such a strong lady . Olivia is incredible. Olivia is an inspirational lady . You are making your family so proud. You are a warrior. Keep fighting. The whole world is behind you . Stay positive. Dont give up . I am sending you love and hugs ❤❤❤
  • @YAYYayey
    Olivia Mun, thank you for your courage.
  • Thats scary, i have had lumps down through the years. All normal, just literally had a mammogram, ultrasound done this week. We can have cancer that we don't realise and it can go. I wonder if that could've been the case.
  • I was told in 2004 when I had my hysterectomy that even if they took my ovaries, I could still get ovarian cancer later. Is that true?
  • @user-sf4rg7qd4n
    This is heartbreaking but her coming forward is a game changer. The most shocking part is that a mammogram did not reveal any of this .....
  • @bluemoon7363
    What an incredible interview! Thank you Olivia Munn for your openness and sincerity! Our prayers are with your and your family!
  • Such an inspiration. Sending Olivia positive and healing Reiki. ❤
