I was in her shoes 3 years ago. My babies were only 2 & 3 years old and height of Covid. I’m healing and back to work ❤️
happy to hear it!
🤍
Michael is empathetic, sympathetic, and the perfect journalist to conduct this interview
He’s daughter has brain cancer
I agree. I've always liked him. Seems like a very down to earth, humble guy. I like her, though I've never seen her in anything. Bless her heart. Thankfully, technology has advanced so much. Also, she has a doctor that went to hell & back. My grandmother (mom's side) was diagnosed in 1980. Passed in '82. Mom would drive her to the chemo treatments & she would talk about how tired & worn out she was. Ironic. The treatments made her sicker than the cancer itself did.
Strahan is a lisping mess.
isn’t he a football player?
@@troychriscarretas2657retired
She’s fortunate to be in a position to have someone advocating for her to do further tests to find it at stage 1 (and have the resources). Most women would be told their scans and mammogram are clear and be sent home, until it’s found at a later stage.
Best of luck to her for the future. 🙏
Lifetime risk assessment test/ get an mri
That is why American insurance companies should not be telling people what tests they can do.If you have enough money in this country, you have great Health Insurance.And she has great Health Insurance.Not every woman has the option.She has and that's the problem
@@janicepacheco6826 it’s not even about having great insurance… she can pay cash for ANYTHING! She also waited for NOTHING! By the time I was 38, I had already had 8 biopsies, 2 surgeries and dozens of mammos/ultrasounds… it took all of that for my doctor to even mention an MRI. I also had to wait months for that MRI. I’m currently waiting til August (made the appt in late March) for a specialist.
Being a celebrity with tons of money truly gives a privilege that most of them can’t even begin to understand.
Exactly
My insurance is an accepted at any of the gynecologist around here and I had an ovarian cyst that burst inside me two months ago. I’ve been so sick since then fevers all the time and I can’t afford to see a doctor.
I’m glad she’s talking about this. She is not alone.
What's the purpose other than furthering her career?...
@@a.sydney5036to make people aware. Seriously????
@@a.sydney5036 Maybe to let other women know that even the rich & famous get the same diseases they do/did. Perhaps to remind women, who are statistically often ignored or told "you're just imagining it" that NO, be aggressive in your testing & treatment, because you're the one who's going to suffer if things are found late.
Perhaps to remind women - and men too - that with the advances in medicine & science, we can discover our increased risk factors soon enough to make changes or take steps to mitigate the damage done to us.
@@a.sydney5036 To educate others who might be facing the same thing. Also, it's likely not going to help the career of a woman whose career has focused on her face and youthful body to be talking openly about losing her youthful body.
@@a.sydney5036 You're disgusting.
I love how honest she is
I’m 2.5 years free from stage 2b HER2+ invasive ductal carcinoma. 19 months of treatment that I’m still struggling with side effects from, but, I’m here! Always sending my best wishes to cancer warriors everywhere! 💕
Happy to hear you are here with us. Stay strong
@@blablabroz9772 thank you! Diagnosed at my very first mammogram! Screenings are so important! 💕
🙏🙏
I"m 13yrs free from the same. You get stronger every day.
@@the-gadgeteer hallelujah🙏❤️🙏
I was just diagnosed in July 2023, two days before my wedding Anniversary. As Olivia was talking I was transfixed on every word and emotion that can out her mouth. I felt her fear, pain, exhaustion and emotional turmoil. So glad she has a good support system and she is very loved by family, friends and her fans. Her story will motivate women and men to get mammogram, and she will save many lives. I will keep her and her family in my 🙏🏼.
I wish you all the best.
She’s fortunate that her doctor had foresight and took the assessment risk test for her. A lot of women don’t have someone looking out for them like this.
Unfortunate she got sucked into a medical industry protocol designed to extract money, more so than cancer.
I am so happy that the cancer was caught in time. Glad that her doctor took the extra steps, even though she showed no signs of cancer during her usual screenings. What is scary is what about the rest of us? It's pretty scary.
My thoughts exactly smh.
There's little hope for the rest of us. We've seen what all these celebs go through and they have the money and connections for the best doctors, and still, many die. Sadly, sickness and death is part of life and life is short.
Why is there a explosion of cancer rates now??
I had already been a fan of Olivia’s since her days on G4, but after hearing her talk about her fight with cancer, she’s now one of my heroes.
What a lovely, grounded and strong LADY!!! KUDOS to Michael for a wonderful interview! I know he is dealing with cancer in his family and his strength and sensitivity touched me to my core! My father passed from cancer after a 25 year battle in 1997, so seeing these interviews gives me hope that we WILL eradicate this beast! 🙏 ❤👍👏
I am praying for her. God bless her and others going through this.
Which god? There are thousands of them. I am sure yours is the right one though. Grow up and put the book of fairy tales down. Talking to your imaginary friend isn't helping anyone.
@@QS-si3cq There is only 1 God, brother. Sorry but why are you referring to Fairy Tales - that is kinda stupid. Associating a monotheistic religion has nothing to do with fairy tales. Fair tales are written by MAN. As a Muslim, I will speak this - there is no proof Quran was written by a Man. Its a message from Allah and there is enough evidence to show it is true. Just because you don't see it obvious does not mean God does not exist.
I am happy to argue with you on this - bring your science or whatever Sam Harris source you wanna use.
My partner did hormone suppression. It was a grueling 6 months of her angry,crying,happy,crying, angry. But now we have an 80 percent chance of her getting pregnant . She says it was worth it.
Great interview Michael very heart felt and moving God bless all people that are going through this.
A routine mammogram saved my life. I had no symptoms or felt no lump. I normally have my mammogram on my birthday month but in 2018 I had my mammogram in early august 3 months after my birthday and it came back suspicious. I was called to come back for another mammogram and then was told I needed an ultrasound. The ultrasound confirmed a mass so then I needed a biopsy. In September of 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction on November 1, 2018. In December of 2018 I was told that I would not need radiation or chemo. I was stage 1. Thanks to God, I have completed my 5 years in December of 2023! The surgeries were brutal but I would do it all over again. It’s true, you do see life differently after a cancer diagnosis. I Thank God everyday for my life and my family!!❤
It’s so nice media news talking about more health care
WOMEN's healthcare.
I have to get a biopsy for a lesion in my breast that looks suspicious. I'm thankful for her being willing to share her story.
Sending prayers up for good news!!
Best wishes that it's benign & the only one you have to fear!
Hope she wins this battle
Hope she at least referred to God but no, she is secularist , too arrogant and confident that there is no God on the other side.
I am so so sorry to learn of Olivia Munn's health challenges. What a beautiful person and her family. I am also glad her partner is right by her side. I am sending Canadian Northern Comfort to her and family and prayers for her to be out of pain and on the road to having another child. Peace to the World.
Get well Olivia. Love from Malaysia.
You go girl! Prayers for the best outcome. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I lost an aunt to cancer when I was 8 (it wasn’t breast cancer but it was still awful). I pray for Olivia and anyone dealing with breast cancer or any other kind of cancer.
Prayers go out to Olivia & her family my daughter has been fighting 2 types of rare stage 4 breast cancer strains of cancer going on almost 5 years. And Olivia's story is so similar to what I've seen and witnessed my own daughter going through. It's not easy to see your loved one suffer yet staying strong and fighting every single day! 🙏✝️🥰 prayers to all going thru this fight!
I've always loved Olivia Munn. I hope she does well.
Such an important conversation. Thank you ❤
You are so beautiful inside and out, Olivia!! Blessings and prayers for you, John and Malcolm!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your journey. As a survivor of breast cancer I appreciate your honesty.
Yeah, mammogram and ultrasound clear, genetic testing negative, but she is referred for an mri because of a lifetime risk assessment test. Any one of us normal minions would not have been given that option . Doc wouldve said, "meh, youre good, and your insurance wont cover further tests anyway." I hate our "health care" in this country.
Agreed, but not just about money or health insurance. Most doctors wouldn't think of doing this because I'm sure the risk of this happening is EXTREMELY low. I would assume doctors do this based on risk, right? Given she is a celebrity, is why the doctor, in my opinion, went above and beyond in this case.
She in all likelihood has been "overtreated/diagnosed" and could have just continued on with her life as normal without having been subjected to these unnecessary "diagnostic" tests and "preventative" procedures. It's a case of one having _too much_ information and access to "resources". Chops off her tits and pulls out her uterus at the drop of a hat. Had she simply put "family" first ; ahead of silly show-biz career child-bearing at an earlier more naturally suitable age would have been the antidote for what ails her
@@finnolive0958 Also because she is able to pay out of pocket for an MRI.
@@tlbrooklyn I hear what you are saying, but not sure doctors who are not treating a celebrity are considering that (think they are going by risk, which again is TINY that this will be found in the average person with no symptoms).
Olivia has always been honest and genuine. I've been following her since early in her career. I'm happy for her that she's survived this to be here with us much much longer. ❤
Can totally relate… my mother also was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer.. I didn’t know how to react or was speechless
Best wishes for a complete recovery.
My heart goes out to her & her family
So sad. God bless her and her family. ❤
Such an important story to share!! ❤️❤️
Prayers
Olivia is stronger and more beautiful than she knows. God Bless you! I will be praying for you. Love,
A sister survivor!
She’s very brave. I applaud her.
Olivia, I'm praying & pulling for you & your family! There is nothing fiercer than a mother's will to be around for her baby(ies). Take good care!💞🙏💞
Prayers for you and your family Olivia. Keep fighting and stay strong.
I’m so grateful that she’s sharing her story. This is very important for other women to hear! Anyone with a cancer dx, please remember that medical care has become so advanced and the survival rate is much higher now than ever before. There’s hope! ❤ 💪🏾
Men, too.
Thanks for showing your humanity. You are warrior woman. ❤️
Sending my love and light to everyone fighting cancer.
How about it takes a village to beat cancer
Having family and friends step up for sitting, meals, appointments and conversations it's a true blessing
Absolutely beautiful person
She is so beautiful and her baby is adorable. I wish her all the best 🙏🏻.
GOD bless her and her family ❤
Olivia we are here for you my heart, love and prayers are for you. ❤ keep the faith .
Hey girl, you are brave, I love you 💕
I had gone through all of this and I got again bravery support from your voice to continue live my life good, thank you ❤
What an inspiration. Loved Sloan so much. ❤❤❤
I’m so glad Ms. Olivia is sharing this news /information/experience with us. I can understand my health journey better and understand that others are on similar journeys too. Thank you for your inspiration. ❤
thank yo for sharing your story Olivia
You fight Girl stay strong
My mom was diagnosed with non Hodgkin’s lymphoma 8 years ago at age 62 and didn’t want to undergo chemotherapy. She didn’t want to fight it. I begged her to try and she relented and has been cancer free for the past 7 years. Videos like these are good for people to see.
Thank you.
HUGS and LOVE My Dear Olivia...from one cancer patient to another
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢PRAYING FOR YOUR HEALTH AND RECOVERY, OLIVIA. I love your whole family so much!!!
Malcolm's baby picture with your friends' baby is and has been my screen saver since you posted it, for heaven sake. John is my favorite stand up comedian. I am DEVASTATED but, completely believing for your victory!😓FUCK.
I really wish that she pulls through and gets stronger from this and I hope John stays strong as well and not relapse. They have a beautiful future ahead.
Godspeed Olivia, get well soon! You have a family that loves you. Who could ask for more?
❤❤❤❤ Olivia..praying for you
🌺 Love Olivia Munn! Her story is going to save so many other women by becoming more aware of their health options and risks.
She's 43?! Holy smokes she's pretty. Hope she pulls through
yeah it's terrible when attractive people die
@@gerrydooley951 😂relax, you monster. Two separate things entirely. I was shocked she was 43, commented how pretty she looked, and then wished her well.
43 is not 73 come on now. If you take care of yourself most 43 year olds don’t look old as 43 is NOT old.
@@freddiemossberg7204 I suppose you're right.
Hoping for both families
Be Strong. You are beautiful, no matter what. God Bless.
COURAGEOUS!!! And your BEAUTY is still within you, more BEAUTIFUL now, than ever Olivia ♥️
So sorry, prayers up 🙏
Been a fan since Attack of the Show, soo sorry to hear about this. She's soo grounded now, I really wish her a healthy recovery and that they have that baby. You can hear how much it means to her
Bless you Olivia!🙏🏼💕💕💕 fight and win!!!
Beautiful lady. God bless her and give her a long life to be with her family.
Olivia Munn is an epic human and her generosity in sharing her story is a great thing. Thank you Olivia - wishing you the best of care.
Mr. Strahan. Honoring breast cancer survivors and those angels with his beautiful pink tie. His compassion amplified by the fact his own daughter is fighting her own cancer battle. ❤ Praying hands over Ms. Munn.
Prayers for Olivia and her family. To everyone that is on battle now prayers ❤
God bless her and heal her 🙏 ❤️
you can have a surrogate dont worry. i know a survivor who had one baby herself and a surrogate.
Glad she’s back and doing better. She’s awesome.
Love you, thank you for sharing your story.
Sorry to hear this. Prayers for Ms. Munn🙏🌷🙏
I love Olivia Munn. I've watched Attack of The Show since I was a teenager. Loved it. I am still and always a G4 fan. ❤
What’s G4?
@@barbaravyse660 A channel.
She's been so blessed in life with beauty, successful career, family, then this terrible thing happens probably feels the rug has been pulled from beneath her. She will triumph and grow old gracefully! Many deal with the horrid cancer diagnosis, have to be positive.
Imagine having the money to do 3 rounds of egg retrieval. It's good she is bringing awareness, but there are so many that can't afford these options
imagine having the money to pay for an MRI when insurance doesn't cover it. "normal" people's insurance is NOT going to pay for an MRI with clear scans - I've never even heard of that, and now I'm wondering if I can get an MRI
@@brandy7572 True - but perhaps with enough women who DO have the means to get this done, & showing the benefits, insurance will one day choose to be PROactive for women's health rather than REactive as is far more often the case.
@@brandy7572 I just wrote the same thing. Unheard of.
God bless you and heal you
HUGS! Fellow survivor here!
God bless you! 🌹 🌹🌹
Strahan is fantastic as an interviewer. Wow. God bless you Olivia for speaking out and providing hope for other sufferers.
I'll pray for her getting better from it 🙌🏼❤️
thank you for sharing. this is so common now w women even in 30s
From day one..Olivia has been the one of the sweet spots in an otherwise grimy few decades of celebrities that make us question are support...she has best energy. Think it works out.
Blessings to you Olivia, your family 🙏🏽❤️ and may God continue to bless your healing and protect you always. I will keep you in my prayers and all others. As a cancer survivor myself last year, I am forever grateful because it was caught early and so blessed to have the gift of great insurance, love and support from others. May all who are fighting this disease be blessed with this healing as well.😌
Give this woman her baby and health God 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕
Beautiful interview ❤
we wish you health and be strong
Wow. I’ve always enjoyed her work, but what a phenomenal woman she is! I hope everything works out for her and her family.
Wow ❤
I wish her all the best. And a full recovery for her and her son.
Welp I'm crying. What a sweet interview.
I've been crushing on Olivia since the Attack of the Show days. I live in LA and ended up being able to enjoy a brief chat with her on a gig I was on at the time. An absolute sweetheart. Laid back, down-to-earth, and stunningly gorgeous in person. Happy to see she is fighting the good fight.
God bless Olivia and all patients battling cancer.
What a testimony
She isn’t the first nor is the last. My mother had cancer. It was hell and is still hell on earth.
This was done with class. I hope this helps other women experiencing this.
Olivia May you have only good health from here on out. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
She's absolutely Beautiful
