Actress Shannen Doherty, renowned for her transparency about her cancer journey, has recently shared a distressing update on her condition. On Instagram, she revealed, “January 5th, my CT scan showed Mets in my brain.”
Shannen Doherty is now undergoing radiation therapy to treat her brain cancer. Her first session took place on January 12th. Reflecting on her experience, she shared, “It’s clear that I’m afraid. My life was quite busy because I have severe claustrophobia.”
Amidst this turmoil, Doherty expressed gratitude for her medical team, particularly Dr. Amin Mirahdi and the skilled technologists at Cedars-Sinai. She acknowledged the harsh reality of cancer, stating, “But this is what cancer may look like—that worry, that turbulence, that timing.” She shared a video of her radiation treatment, showcasing her vulnerability.
Doherty’s cancer journey began in 2015 with a breast cancer diagnosis that had spread. She bravely underwent radiation, chemotherapy, and a mastectomy, achieving remission in 2017. However, in 2019, her cancer returned. She kept this recurrence private until 2020 when she revealed that her breast cancer had advanced to stage 4. The recent news that the cancer has metastasized to her brain presents a significant new challenge.
Three months into her brain cancer treatment, Doherty revealed in April 2023 that she was divorcing her husband of 11 years, Kurt Iswarienko, due to his alleged intimate involvement with his PR work.
In light of her latest health struggle, Doherty’s celebrity friends have shown their support. Kevin Smith commented, “Rooting for you, my irreplaceable friend. You have always been such a fearless fighter, so it is understandable that you occasionally feel frightened. But after those times have passed, allow that unbreakable Doherty spirit to reign once more.”
Selma Blair also shared her heartfelt support, saying, “This is a lot. Again, there’s a lot to handle here. And I’m hoping that in your moments of dread, all the knowledge of intelligent peace may come to you. To know you are in our care. Love, love, love.”
Shannen Doherty’s journey is a testament to her strength and vulnerability. Her openness about her challenges has garnered immense support and empathy from those who admire her resilience. As she battles brain cancer, her story continues to inspire and remind us all of the importance of unity and compassion in the face of adversity.
