Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who survived breast cancer five years ago, has a new outlook on life

After surviving breast cancer five years ago, actress and comedian Julia Louis-Dreyfus said that she now views life from a completely new viewpoint.

The Wall Street Journal magazine featured the “Seinfield” actress on its cover in November after choosing her to be the recipient of their entertainment innovator of the year feature. She spoke about her health experience with the publication.

The former cast member of “Saturday Night Live” reminisced about the day she received the news from her physician that she had Stage 2 breast cancer. That same day, in September 2017, she also won her sixth straight Emmy award.

Rolling over with laughter, Dreyfus hung up the phone, according to ‘People’ magazine.

“I mean, it felt like it was written,” the woman said. It had the atmosphere of a terrible dark comedy. After then, it changed to frantic weeping.

But later on, she acknowledged that the diagnosis had really scared her.

“You just don’t think about it for yourself, you know, that’s kind of human arrogance,” she said, going on, “But of course, we’re all going to bite it at some point.”

In October 2018, Louis-Dreyfus declared herself cancer-free after undergoing six rounds of chemotherapy and a double mastectomy.

Five years after completing treatment, the actress claimed she no longer felt immortal and that she was resolved to make the most of her years in remission.

She described her altered outlook on life by saying, “I find myself living more mindfully.” Though there’s less constant jabbering, there is more intense attention.
