Actress-comedian Julia Louis-Dreyfus said that she has adopted an altogether different perspective on life five years after having survived breast cancer.

The 바카라Seinfield바카라 star appeared on the November cover of 'The Wall Street Journal' magazine which had selected her as the winner of their entertainment innovator of the year column. Talking to the outlet, she discussed her health journey.

The 바카라Saturday Night Live바카라 alum recalled the moment she got the call from her doctor and learned that she had Stage 2 breast cancer, which was also the day she won her sixth consecutive Emmy award back in September 2017.

According to 'People' magazine, Dreyfus hung up the phone and was initially rolling over with laughter.

She said: 바카라I mean, it felt like it was written. It felt like it was a horrible black comedy. And then it sort of morphed into crying hysterically.바카라

She, however, went on to admit later that the diagnosis had in fact terrified her.

바카라You just simply don바카라t consider it for yourself, you know, that바카라s sort of the arrogance of human beings,바카라 she said, adding, 바카라But of course, at some point, we바카라re all going to bite it.바카라

Louis-Dreyfus announced she was cancer-free in October 2018 following a double mastectomy and six rounds of chemo.

The actress said she used to feel immortal but now, five years after finishing treatment, she has a new approach to life and is determined to make the most of her years in remission.

Describing her changed perspective on life, she said: 바카라I find myself living more mindfully. It바카라s not like it바카라s yakking at me all the time, but there바카라s more laser focus.바카라
