Olivia Munn with her daughter Méi"There were many people integral to saving my life but it was my OB-GYN @drthaisaliabadi who set me on the path to survival," she continued. "She used the Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Assessment Test to calculate my risk of getting breast cancer. My high score led me down a road of many tests that resulted in a cancer diagnosis."
Munn added, "The test is free, online and takes only a few minutes. To take it you can either google 'Tyrer-Cuzick Test' or you can go to Dr. Aliabadi's website SheMD.org (@shemdpodcast) and also get action items on what to do depending on your percentage of risk."
"To everyone who is battling or has battled cancer, in whatever form, I send you all my love. 🤍🤍🤍," the X-Men: Apocalypse starconcluded.

Munn announced on Sept.22 that she and Mulaney had welcomed their second baby together via gestational surrogate. It came after she spoke to PEOPLE in April about her "terrifying" breast cancer diagnosis the previous year — following which she had four surgeries, a double mastectomy and medically induced menopause.
"Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon🐉," the mother of two wrote in her Instagram post alongside a photo of herself sitting on her husband's lap as she held their daughter in a hospital room.

"I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother," Munn added in her caption. " She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true."
"I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded," the proud mom continued. "Méi (pronounced may) means plum in Chinese 梅💜."
The post then concluded with a photo of the new family of four standing by a barrier in front of the ocean.
