 The topic of cancer hits close to home for Biden, who lost his eldest son Beau Biden to died of brain cancer in May 2015, nearly two years after he was diagnosed in August 2013. He was 46. 
 
 At the Milken Institute Global Conference in May, Biden said his cancer “moonshot” initiative would be working with world leaders to promote global collaboration on cancer research.

 NEW YORK (AP) — Julia Louis-Dreyfus is back at work on "Veep" and said it feels "fantastic." 
 
 The star of the HBO comedy series revealed last September that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. The news came soon after her sixth consecutive Emmy win for the role of Selina Meyer. 
 
 As work began recently on the show's seventh and final season, Louis-Dreyfus told The Associated Press: "I feel good. I feel strong. I've got energy and, yeah, back to my old tricks. It feels like I never left." 
 
 The "Seinfeld" alum has signed on to her first cancer awareness initiative, helping Carolina Herrera designer Wes Gordon design a flower-adorned T-shirt as part of Saks Fifth Avenue's 20th year raising money through its Key to the Cure program. 
 
 The limited-edition shirt will sell for $35 at Saks stores Oct. 1-31, with 100 percent of proceeds passed to the AiRS Foundation, a nonprofit Louis-Dreyfus supports for its work in helping women with the costs of breast reconstruction after mastectomy. 
 
 "Up to 70 percent of breast cancer survivors who have had a mastectomy are really unsure or unaware of their reconstruction options, and many of those women who desire to have surgery don't have sufficient insurance or other resources to cover it," Louis-Dreyfus said by phone on a recent location day for "Veep." 
 
 As a survivor, she said she's often asked to help out. This is the first time she has said yes. 
 
 "It's hard to say no but I've just had to be very careful about managing my time and conserving my energy, so you know I'm putting my whole self into Key to the Cure," Louis-Dreyfus said. "You can't spread yourself too thin. That's why I wanted to choose the organization wisely and carefully." 
 
 As this year's ambassador for the program, Louis-Dreyfus said she wanted a bold statement for the annual T-shirt. It features three poppies and the slogan: "We are fighters & we are fighting for a cure." 
 
 Over 20 years, Key to the Cure has donated nearly $40 million to cancer research and treatment organizations. 
 
 "It was a super-fun endeavor," Louis-Dreyfus said of the T-shirt design process. She has often worn Herrera designs on red carpets. The shirt features blooms in jewel-tone red and pink. 
 
 "I wanted it to have a sort of femininity and a powerful message at the same time because I believe the two can go hand in hand," she said. "I liked the idea of talking about fighting."
– Support for Julia Louis-Dreyfus is pouring in after the actress revealed she has breast cancer. One person to show his support: Joe Biden. "We Veeps stick together. Jill and I, and all of the Bidens, are with you, Julia," Biden tweeted Thursday, alongside a photo of the pair taken from a video shown at the 2014 White House Correspondents Dinner, per People. "@JoeBiden yes we do. Love back to all of you," Louis-Dreyfus responded. Louis-Dreyfus' Seinfeld costars Jason Alexander and Michael Richards also expressed their support, reports People. "So sorry you have to go thru this, pal, but I know you will prevail. We are here if/when you need and we love you," Alexander tweeted.
