Julia Louis-Dreyfus Shares Funny Photo Of Herself At Her Chemo Treatment

8 months ago

Last month, after winning yet another Emmy for her HBO show Veep, actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus announced she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

This past week, after her second round of chemo, she took to Instagram to let the world know that cancer is no match for her "ROAR."

Chemo #2: finito. We are NOT fucking around here. “I’ve got the eye of the tiger. The Fighter dancing through the fire cuz I am a champion and your’re going to hear me ROAR.” Thanks to @mrtonyhale & @timothycsimons & @katyperry for their hilarious and loving inspiration.

Julia was inspired by two of her biggest supporters, "Veep" co-stars Tony Hale and Timothy Simons, who made an inspiring, and hilarious video cheering her on in her fight against cancer:

How lucky am I that these bozos have my back? What a moving inspiration to my day. Thanks to @MrTonyHale & @timothycsimons & @katyperry pic.twitter.com/kjFxOnxI0I
