In early 2020, Shannen Doherty (50), famous for playing the character Brenda Walsh in the series Beverley Hills 90210, announced that she is diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. The actress had breast cancer in the past, in 2015, but then she managed to get over the terrible disease.
Since learning of the diagnosis, Shannen has been open to the public, often talking about how she copes with the challenges of the disease. Even though she has serious health problems, the actress has not given up on her career and her latest project is appearing in a film called “List of a lifetime”, a film about the story of a woman with breast cancer. Shannen Doherty is excited about this project and recently explained why she chose to get involved.
“People with stage four cancer are usually very active and very lively. I feel it is my duty to talk about cancer and tell everyone that life with this disease is still active and eventful. I never complain. And I don’t even talk much about it. Basically, he’s part of my life right now. My husband always tells me that if people didn’t know I had cancer, they wouldn’t be able to notice it in me “, said the actress, according to the prevention.com publication.
Doherty then added that he is very focused on living to the fullest every moment of his life, despite the cruel disease he is struggling with. “I feel like a very, very healthy person. It’s hard to think that you will soon have to settle your accounts when you feel that you will live another 10-15 years. I think that anyone with stage IV cancer feels this, that he is taken out of work, sent to the “reserve bank” just to fight an incurable disease. But I’m not ready for that. I feel full of life “, the actress also said.
