Olivia Munn paused cancer treatment to freeze embryos



Olivia Munn froze her eggs before beginning “aggressive” treatment for breast cancer and ultimately undergoing a hysterectomy.

Actress he told Vogue after her diagnosis, she wanted to get “a few more” back to “form one embryo” with her boyfriend, John Mulaney.

“John and I have talked about it a lot and we don’t feel like we’re done growing our family, but we didn’t know if I would have to undergo chemotherapy or radiation,” she explained in an interview published Sunday, the magazine noted that the treatment would trigger menopause in her body and affect future fertility.

Munn, 43, said she held off treatment despite the dangers of pumping herself with hormones to retrieve eggs, hoping for a “good month.”

The risk led to the creation of “two healthy embryos.”

The Newsroom alum, who previously froze eggs at ages 33 and 39, said she and Mulaney, 41, “just started crying” over the good news.

“It was incredibly exciting because not only did we get it in one go, but it also meant I didn’t have to constantly put myself at risk,” she recalls. “It was just amazing.”
