    Olivia Munn feels a lot of parenting "guilt" following her breast cancer battle

    The 44-year-old actress - who has Malcolm, two, and Mei, five weeks, with comedy star John Mulaney - admits that her cancer battle has taken a toll on her family life


    Olivia said on 'TODAY': "There is a lot of guilt that I had and still have from being sick for so long and being bedridden with so many surgeries.

    "I mean, I thought that when I got through the big chunk of surgeries, like the four surgeries in the beginning, that I would be able to get back on my feet. But then, there came the first wave of medication, and that just knocked me down and was debilitating."

    Olivia recalled feeling "tired" and admitted that she "couldn't hold" her baby boy at one point in time.

    She said: "It was really exhausting and there's just a lot of guilt."

    Despite this, Olivia appreciates having the support of her husband through her health battles.

    The actress shared: "We're really tight and we have a lot of fun and we laugh all the time, and John is just the most amazing husband and father. And so, we figure out a way to make it all work despite how tired I can be at times."

    Olivia had a full hysterectomy following her cancer diagnosis and she subsequently described it as the "best decision".

    The movie star - who married John earlier this year - told Vogue: "I took out my uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

    "Doing a full hysterectomy was a big decision to make, but it was the best decision for me because I needed to be present for my family."
