Most people know someone who’s been diagnosed with breast cancer. In the United States alone, roughly 240,000 women are diagnosed each year, and it’s the second leading cause of death from cancer in women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>. <\/p>

Actress Olivia Munn just announced that she’s among those who’ve been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, taking to Instagram to share how exactly she discovered it—and how one doctor made all the difference in her prognosis.
