What: Olivia Munn talks to Vogue about her cancer diagnosis, and the decision to fully remove her uterus and ovaries, despite wanting to have more children.
Why it matters: “On March 13th of this year, [Munn] shared her diagnosis on Instagram, encouraging women to use the tool to calculate their own lifetime risk score and schedule doctor appointments (and the call to action worked, with over 23,000 people sharing their stories). When it comes to the future of their embryos, Munn is cautiously optimistic. ‘…But a surrogate isn’t a scary prospect to me anymore because there’s nothing I can do. I don’t have the ability to carry a baby anymore, so if we want to build our family, this is our option.’”
