Award-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus has annouced that she is "feeling happy" following surgery for breast cancer.

"Hoorah! Great doctors, great results, feeling happy and ready to rock after surgery," she wrote on Twitter, adding what she described as her first "post op photo", which you can see above.

The 57-year old star of Veep and Seinfeld was first diagnosed with cancer last September - the day after she won an Emmy - and broke the news in a tweet. She finished chemotherapy treatment in January and is planning to return to Veep later this year in order to film the final season .
