Munn’s doctor ended up calculating her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. According to CNN , Munn said that this “looked at factors like my age, familial breast cancer history, and the fact I had my first child after the age of 30.”
“Because of that score I went to get an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, which then led to a biopsy,” Munn wrote, according to CNN . “The biopsy showed I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast-moving cancer.”
Over the past ten months, Munn said she had four surgeries which included a double mastectomy that happened around a month after she had a biopsy done, CNN reported.
“ I hope by sharing this it will help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their own journey,” Munn wrote on Instagram .
“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,” Munn said in a statement, according to the AP .
