The post comes just months after she revealed her battle with breast cancer and hiatus from her award-winning role on HBO's Veep.

Back on September 28, Louis-Dreyfus took to Twitter to reveal her shocking diagnosis just one day after a record-setting Emmy Win.

'Just when you thought…' she tweeted, with the image attached. '1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I'm the one.

'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.'

At the time, the Veep star had just won her sixth consecutive Emmy.

She set the record for most wins for a performance in the same role for the same series with that win.

HBO told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement that the mother-of-two learned about her diagnosis just one day after the Emmy awards.

'Our love and support go out to Julia and her family at this time,' HBO said in the statement to THR.

'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.'

The production schedule for Veep will be adjusted as needed, HBO said.

It was announced months ago that the upcoming 7th season of the Veep will be its last.
