    I just want to point out that for the majority of women in America, this timeline is not their reality. Being seen by a specialist, getting an MRI (rather than a plain old mammo), getting the MRI results an HOUR later, getting an ultrasound the next day, biopsy the following day- this is a fantasy for most people in the US unfortunately. The diagnostic journey is months to years for many women. Not all healthcare is created equal.

    She was extremely fortunate to have great medical insurance and to get the tests done immediately. Ultrasound and MRI are very expensive unless you have outstanding medical coverage.

    She is incredibly strong. To go through this transformation and fight, on top of early motherhood, postpartum, and now induced menopause. Sending light and love her way. ❤

    She's going to help a lot of other women by being so transparent, open and vulnerable with her story.

    This is such a beautifully honest and personal confession. I’ve always liked Olivia but I’ve never respected and admired her more.

    I was holding my breath watching this video. That’s a lot to take at her age, as a new mom, a partner, an actress…I’m happy for what she’s achieved. Thanks for sharing.

    Great OBGYN!!! I wish we all had access to really good doctors. Healthcare as an absolute nightmare in this country. Only the wealthy and privileged have access to the best doctors.

    How would they not catch it on a mammogram?? That’s terrifying for the rest of us women who don’t consider the alternate ways of checking if the mammogram is clean

    I remember watching a UA-cam video of Malcolm learning to say “no!” You heard Olivia laughing in the background….Then, Malcolm broke out into laughter. She is a wonderful mom and wishing her a long life ahead.
