 Louis-Dreyfus, 56, shared her battle with breast cancer in a statement on Instagram and Twitter, writing:“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 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.”
