Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus has shared an update on her cancer battle by sharing a series of heart-warming posts ahead of her return to the HBO show.

The actress announced that she had breast cancer last month in an open letter to fans, and has now revealed that she's finished round two of chemotheraphy.

"Chemo #2: finite," she captioned an Instagram picture of herself in a hoodie, wearing sunglasses and a drawn-on moustache.

"We are NOT f**king around here," she continued, before quoting lyrics from Katy Perry's 'Roar.'

"'I've got the eye of the tiger. The fighter dancing through the fire cuz I am a champion and your're going to hear me ROAR,'" she said.

"Thanks to @mrtonyhale & @timothycsimons & @katyperry for their hilarious and loving inspiration."

Sock it to 'em, Julia!

The latter part of her note was in reference to a video clip send by her Veep co-stars Tony Hale and Timothy Simons (Gary and Jonah), where they lip-synced to Katy's 2013 hit.

In the video, Hale plays the role of the actress battling with Simons, who's playing the role of cancer.

"How lucky am I that these bozos have my back?" Louis-Dreyfus captioned the clip. "What a moving inspiration to my day. Thanks to @MrTonyHale & @timothycsimons & @katyperry".

The star also retweeted a picture that Veep director David Mandel shared of the season seven premiere script, writing: "It was a fantastic script read by an amazing cast. Huge comfort and joy!"

The next season is set to air next year, and will be the last for the HBO show.

Julia previously explained: "We don't want to repeat ourselves or wear out our welcome. The story has a finality to it that feels end-of-series."
