“Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus revealed her unexpected initial reaction after learning she had stage II breast cancer in 2017.
As one of the most celebrated comedic actors of our time, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has spent the better part of her career making people laugh. But her life took a serious, unexpected turn in 2017 when she received a sobering call from her doctor: That was the moment she found out she had stage II breast cancer.
In October 2018, Louis-Dreyfus announced that she was officially cancer-free, after a double mastectomy and six rounds of chemotherapy. She was open about her experience throughout her treatment too—sharing both hardships and wins . During these difficult times, again, humor helped her cope, she revealed while receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2018. “The old cliché about laughter being the best medicine turns out to be true,” she said at the time.
