\nNEW YORK CITY:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actor Olivia Munn revealed Wednesday that she had undergone a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em> and The Newsroom<\/em> performer took to Instagram to tell followers her news, just days after she attended the Oscars ceremony with her partner, comedian John Mulaney.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t have found my cancer for another year -\u2013 at my next scheduled mammogram,” she told 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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Munn walked the red carpet at Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood, where Mulaney presented an Oscar, and later attended the celebrity-filled Vanity Fair after-party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Munn’s small screen credits include The Daily Show with Jon Stewart<\/em> as well as a role in Aaron Sorkin’s HBO drama The Newsroom.<\/em> Her movie credits have included Magic Mike, The Predator<\/em> and Office Christmas Party<\/em>.<\/p>\n
