Star of Charmed and Beverly Hills 90210, who has terminal cancer, reports that a scan in January showed brain metastases.
Shannen Doherty has disclosed that the brain has been affected by terminal breast cancer, for which she has been getting therapy for a number of years.
Doherty posted an emotional video of herself receiving radiation therapy to Instagram with the message, “Mets,” or metastasis, having been discovered in her brain during a scan in early January.
“My fear is obvious,” the 52-year-old actor, who has been in TV shows like Charmed and Beverly Hills, 90210, wrote in the post, because of my severe claustrophobia and the amount of activity in my life. But this is what cancer may look like—that worry, that turbulence, that timing.
Celebrities and fans expressed overwhelming support for Doherty’s statement.
Actor and friend Selma Blair wrote, “This is a lot to take on, yet again.” “And at the moments of dread, may all the sage peace you have learned reach you. to know you are in our care. Love, love, love.
Kevin Smith, who directed her in the 1995 movie Mallrats, referred to her as his “irreplaceable friend” and stated, “Rooting for you, my irreplaceable friend.” “Because you have always been such a courageous fighter, it is reasonable for you to experience occasional moments of fear. But after those times have passed, allow that unbreakable Doherty spirit to reign again. My Mallrat, you have my undying affection.
“You are a warrior,” the actor Sarah Michelle Gellar wrote.
Doherty underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy after receiving her initial breast cancer diagnosis in 2015. In 2017, she said that she was in remission. Three years later, she disclosed that she had been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.
In an interview with Good Morning America in 2020, she described receiving her second diagnosis as “a bitter pill to swallow in many ways.”
“I do have days when I wonder, ‘Why me?'” Then I think, “Well, why not me? ” One more? Other than me, who else merits this? We don’t, all of us.
She added that people with stage four could work, adding that she had tried to keep her second diagnosis a secret while filming the 90210 revival. Like, the moment we receive that diagnosis, our life doesn’t end. There is still some living to be done.
Doherty has posted pictures of herself on social media with no hair and a nosebleed to show the numerous diagnoses and therapies she has had. She wrote, “I hope I inspire people to get mammograms, to have routine exams, to overcome fear and face whatever may be in front of you.
