\"In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can't even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined,\" she wrote. \"Surprisingly, I've only cried twice. I guess I haven't felt like there was time to cry. My focus narrowed and I tabled any emotions that I felt would interfere with my ability to stay clearheaded.\"

Munn said she decided to keep her cancer battle private because she \"needed to catch my breath and get through some of the hardest parts before sharing.\"

The former \"Daily Show\" correspondent credited her OB-GYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, for helping to save her life.

Munn said she is \"lucky\" because her cancer was caught early enough for her to have options.

\"I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day,\" she added.

\"I'm so thankful to my friends and family for loving me through this,\" the former G4 host said, going on to shout out her boyfriend John Mulaney for supporting her every step of the way.

\"I'm so thankful to John for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect,\" she said of the comedian. \"For being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up, always placing framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.\"

Munn and Mulaney welcomed their son Malcolm in November 2021.

Mulaney took to the comments of Munn's post to support her after she made the announcement, writing, \"Thank you for fighting so hard to be here for us. Malc and I adore you.\"
