Shannen Doherty, known for her role in ‘Beverly Hills 90210,’ is bravely facing the progression of her eight-year cancer battle. In a recent interview with People, the 52-year-old actress discloses that the cancer has spread to her bones but emphasizes her determination to continue living, loving, creating, and making positive changes.
Doherty’s health journey began in 2015 with a breast cancer diagnosis, followed by a period of remission in 2017. In 2019, she announced stage 4 metastatic cancer, and in June, she shared the emotional news of the cancer spreading to her brain, leading to a necessary tumor removal procedure.
Reflecting on life’s purpose amid her health challenges, Doherty expresses a desire to participate in clinical trials and advocates for increased awareness and research towards finding a cure. Despite ongoing treatment, she remains active and resilient, challenging stereotypes associated with serious illnesses.
Grateful for life, Doherty shares her perspective on faith, stating that her greatest memories are yet to come. She credits prayer and spirituality for connecting her to a higher power.
In addition to her public journey, Doherty introduces a new memoir-style podcast, ‘Let’s Be Clear,’ offering a candid exploration of her life. The iHeartPodcasts show promises an unfiltered narrative covering her career, cancer battle, friendships, divorces, and more. Through the podcast, Doherty aims to inspire by emphasizing the importance of resilience—highlighting that what matters is not how many times one falls but how they rise again.
