Julia Louis-Dreyfus is "not f**king around" when it comes to her battle with breast cancer.

The 'Veep' star revealed her breast cancer diagnosis last month and has already been through two rounds of chemotherapy treatment.

"Chemo #2 finito. We are NOT f--king around here," she posted on her Instagram account alongside her snapshot.

The actress then quoted a lyric from Katy Perry's song Roar, saying, "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," added Louis-Dreyfus.

On September 28, the Emmy winner announced that she is suffering from the life threatening disease.

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

"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 health care a reality," the 56-year-old actress quoted.

Her announcement came just after her sixth consecutive Emmy's win for her role as former VP-turned-president Selina Meyer for the hit HBO comedy 'Veep.'

Louis-Dreyfus is married to 'Saturday Night Live' comedian Brad Hall since 1987. They have two sons together, Henry and Charles.
