Hot flashes, cold chills, thinning hair—SELF’s April cover star is detailing what happened after having her ovaries removed.

Olivia Munn, who just revealed she had a double mastectomy, said the test “saved my life.”

Following a normal mammogram and genetic test, the actor says checking one last risk score saved her life.

“It felt like it was a horrible black comedy.”

She was “symptom-free” ahead of her testing and recently underwent a single mastectomy.

The actor was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and she recently learned it has spread to her brain.

And he even filmed his mammogram for Instagram.

She shared the news—and emphasized the importance of screenings—in a candid essay.

She was first diagnosed in 2015.

Jane Marczewski wowed judges and fans on the show.

Cancer takes a lot, but gives life new meaning too.
