Actress Shannen Doherty has expressed her determination to continue fighting her stage four breast cancer, which has spread to her bones. In an interview with People magazine, the 52-year-old Beverly Hills 90210 star stated that she is not ready to give up on life, love, or creativity. Doherty has been open about her health battle since her breast cancer diagnosis in 2015. Following a mastectomy in 2016, she received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, announcing her remission in 2017. Unfortunately, in February 2020, Doherty revealed that her breast cancer had returned at stage four and had spread to her brain, making it terminal. Despite the grim prognosis, she remains hopeful, as new cancer treatments and clinical trials are available. Doherty believes her best memories are yet to come. Alongside her acting career, which includes notable roles in television shows such as Little House on the Prairie and Charmed, she is about to release a podcast called Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty, where she will reflect on her life and discuss her cancer journey. Doherty emphasized her desire to defy societal assumptions about terminal illness, stating that she intends to continue working and embracing life.
