Shannen Doherty, a star of Beverly Hills 90210, has once more explained “what cancer can look like.”
One week after posting a video on Instagram with an emotional message informing her followers that her breast cancer had spread to her brain, Shannen has updated her fans on her grueling battle with cancer.
The newest video, which was published Wednesday afternoon, shows Doherty laying on a hospital bed and dressed for surgery. According to the caption, the video was taken on January 16, 2023.
16 January 2023. Surgery. She posted on Instagram, “I had a tumor in my brain that they wanted to biopsy and remove.
The 52-year-old converses with a woman who appears to be evaluating her limbs off-camera while they go over what to expect after surgery.
Doherty seems composed as she speaks with and interrogates the woman, but the actress insisted that she was everything but.
Doherty stated, “I am obviously trying to be brave but I am petrified.” “I felt like I could not handle the fear. I was terrified of all potential negative consequences and concerned about abandoning my mother and what it would do to her. Concerned that after surgery, I wouldn’t recognize myself.
Doherty was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and she declared the condition to be in remission in 2017.
But she revealed in February 2020 that the illness had returned and had progressed to stage 4. She has often provided her followers with updates on how her treatment is progressing ever since being diagnosed with cancer.
The most recent updates have been the most personal ones so far.
Shannen, I appreciate how open you are. You have no idea how much it means to realize that others are dealing with the same difficulties.
