Olivia Munn has shared that the words of Kate Middleton regarding her health journey offered her significant comfort following her breast cancer treatment. During her recent appearance on the “Today” show with host Jenna Bush Hager, Munn expressed her appreciation for the support she felt from the Princess of Wales’ openness about her own struggles after treatment.
After reflecting on her battle with breast cancer, Munn highlighted how Middleton’s remarks resonated with her. According to reports, Kate Middleton spoke candidly about her experiences, saying that while individuals often put on a brave face during treatment, the post-treatment period can be particularly challenging. “You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment, treatments done,” she noted, before emphasizing that the subsequent phase can be “really, really difficult.”
Munn remarked how hearing Middleton articulate these sentiments helped her find words for her own experience. “It was so great to hear her say it because I wasn’t able to put the words in myself,” Munn explained. She reiterated that while many discuss the initial hardships of cancer treatment, the struggles that follow often remain unaddressed. Munn stated, “A lot of people don’t talk about how hard the second part is,” further expressing the comfort she found in knowing someone like Kate Middleton was willing to discuss such challenges.
Munn’s candid reflection underscores not only the importance of open conversations about health struggles but also the power of shared experiences in providing comfort and validation. As both the actor and a mother of two, she emphasized her need to hear from others who have faced similar circumstances, capturing the essence of community and support that can arise from sharing one’s journey. This openness fosters hope and resilience among individuals navigating their own health challenges.
