Munn explained that the following winter, she also had"a normal mammogram." Then, two months after that, she was diagnosed with an"aggressive, fast moving cancer," categorized as Luminol B. The cancer groups are made up of different types of cancer with different group markers and makeups. The first group, known as Luminal A, include"tumors that are ER positive and PR positive, but negative for HER2." These types of breast cancers"are likely to benefit from hormone therapy and may also benefit from chemotherapy."

The fourth group, known as basal-like cancers or triple-negative breast cancer, include"tumors that are ER negative, PR negative and HER2 negative." Chemotherapy specifically is considered to be the most effective treatment in these cases. "Surprisingly, I've only cried twice," she wrote."I guess I haven't felt like there was time to cry. My focused narrowed and I tabled any emotions that I felt would interfere with my ability to stay clearheaded."

Munn also revealed that it may have been another year before her cancer was detected if it wasn't for her doctor doing an assessment of her breast cancer risk. After a biopsy, Munn shared that she had the mastectomy.
