Julia Louis-Dreyfus reveals she has breast cancer

Twitter

“1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I’m the one.,” the Veep star posted on Twitter. “The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring family and friends, and fantastic insurance through my union. The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so let’s fight all cancers and make universal health care a reality.” HBO says Louis-Dreyfus' diagnosis had no bearing on the decision to end Veep, but it's prepared to adjust the final season schedule. "Our love and support go out to Julia and her family at this time," the network said in a statement. "We have every confidence she will get through this with her usual tenacity and undaunted spirit, and look forward to her return to health and to HBO for the final season of Veep."
