Julia Louis-Dreyfus says FU to cancer in defiant post-surgery Instagram photo
Julia Louis-Dreyfus has posted a stunningly defiant photo of herself following surgery for breast cancer, alongside a "fuck you cancer" message.
In September 2017, the Veep star announced her breast cancer diagnosis, and called for universal health care.
Louis-Dreyfus has shared updates on Instagram throughout her treatment, including a video her sons made to celebrate her last day of chemotherapy.
Now, months after her diagnosis, Louis-Dreyfus has shared her first photo taken after her surgery, stating that she's "feeling happy and ready to rock after surgery."
"Hoorah! Great doctors, great results, feeling happy and ready to rock after surgery. Hey cancer, 'Fuck you!' Here’s my first post op photo," she wrote.
Hoorah, indeed!
