Olivia Munn reveals the 'shock' of seeing her body in the mirror after having a double mastectomy: 'I just absolutely broke down'

Olivia Munn described the 'shock' she experienced when she saw her body for the first time following a double mastectomy.

The actress, 43, had undergone a lymph node dissection, a nipple delay procedure and a double mastectomy during her battle with breastcancer, after she was diagnosed around a year ago and had all the operations in the space of 10 months. She also started hormone suppression therapy in November to reduce future risk of cancer, putting her into medically induced menopause, causing hot flashes, thinning hair and exhaustion. The star has also come to accept her 'battle wounds' — scars and dents from her lymph node surgery — and is now focused on raising awareness for other women at risk of breast cancer.
