Shannen Doherty just dropped a bombshell about her health! She revealed that her Stage 4 cancer has spread to her bones. But here’s the thing: she’s not letting it get her down. She’s feeling optimistic and says, “I’m not done yet!”
In an Instagram video posted today, the 52-year-old actress, known for her roles in Beverly Hills, 90210, and Charmed, opened up about her current treatment. She’s on a really good regimen that’s working well for her. She’s taking it day by day, month by month, year by year.
But that’s not all. Doherty got real in an interview with People. She made it clear that she’s not ready to throw in the towel. She’s determined to keep moving forward. She doesn’t want to die, she’s not done with living, loving, creating, and making the world a better place. She’s simply not done.
Back in 2015, Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer. After treatment, she went into remission in 2017. But she announced earlier this year that it had come back as Stage 4 cancer, and in June she revealed it had spread to her brain.
But hold on, there’s more! On December 6, Doherty is launching her very own podcast on iHeartRadio called Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty. In it, she’ll share stories about her TV and film career, her eight-year cancer battle, and so much more.
Despite everything, Doherty is staying positive. She believes her greatest memory is yet to come. She starts and ends each day with prayers, thanking God and connecting to something greater than herself. Her faith is her guiding light.
This woman is a true inspiration. Let’s rally behind her and send all the positive vibes her way. Shannen Doherty, you’ve got this!
