The cast and crew of Veep also shared several photos and videos to mark her return, including behind-the-scenes snapshots from actor Tony Hale and executive producer David Mandel.
The actor underwent several rounds of chemotherapy over the past few months and completed her last one in January. A month, later, she had surgery. Now, she is healthy and ready to work after less than just a year of announcing her diagnosis.
