By the end of May 2023, she\u2019d undergone three surgeries: A nipple delay, lymph node dissection and double mastectomy. And because she and John still had dreams of growing their family, she had an egg retrieval procedure<\/a>, which she\u2019d done twice before, the following month and created embryos.<\/p>\n “That\u2019s a scary process because I have a cancer that feeds off of hormones, so I knew there was a risk,” the Your Friends & Neighbors<\/em> celeb remembered on GMA<\/em>. “And our doctor said, ‘Look, we\u2019re gonna get one for you and then we\u2019re gonna call it.’ Our doctor called and he said, ‘Hey, we got the results back: It\u2019s two healthy embryos.’ We just started bawling crying, both of us.”<\/p>\n Olivia proceeded to have two more surgeries: breast reconstruction<\/a> in September 2023 and a partial hysterectomy\/oophorectomy<\/a> to remove her uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries that April after struggling with the side effects of the ovarian suppression drug Lupron. <\/p>\n Through it all, John was by her side.<\/p>\n “Olivia and I have been through a lot of things together in the past couple years,” he told Vogue<\/em><\/a> in May 2024. “Just side-by-side, supporting each other through anything. And as her guy, I felt both scared and protective. Even with Malcolm in her lap and me there holding her hand, she was going to be physically fighting this disease alone.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
