"Chemo #2: finito. We are NOT f**king around here,” she wrote.

Quoting the lyrics of Katy Perry’s hit song Roar, she added: "I've got the eye of the tiger. The Fighter dancing through the fire cuz I am a champion and you're going to hear me ROAR."

“Thanks to @mrtonyhale& @timothycsimons & @katyperry for their hilarious and loving inspiration. (sic)"

The Veep star followed this up on Friday with a video of her co-stars Tony Hale and Timothy Simmons dancing and miming to Katy's track, which they sent to her to cheer her up.


She captioned the video: "How lucky am I that these bozos have my back? What a moving inspiration to my day. I've watched it a gazillion times. Thanks to @mrtonyhale @timothycsimons& @katyperry (sic)".

Julia - who has two sons, Henry, 25, and Charles, 20, with her husband Brad Hall - announced her diagnoses in a social media post in September, where she also called or her fans to help her in the fight to end "all cancers", and "make universal health care a reality".

"1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I'm the one,” she wrote.

"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 healthcare a reality."
