Actress Shannen Doherty, who has been candid about her battle with cancer, recently shared a distressing update. In an Instagram post, she revealed that her CT scan on January 5th showed cancer metastases in her brain.

Doherty is currently undergoing radiation therapy to combat her brain cancer, with her first treatment on January 12th. She bravely admitted her fear due to severe claustrophobia.

Despite the challenges, Doherty expressed gratitude for her medical team, especially Dr. Amin Mirahdi and the skilled technologists at Cedar Sinai, emphasizing that cancer often involves worry, turbulence, and timing. She shared a vulnerable video of her radiation treatment.

Her cancer journey began in 2015 with a breast cancer diagnosis, which she overcame through radiation, chemotherapy, and a mastectomy, achieving remission in 2017. However, in 2019, cancer returned, reaching stage 4 by 2020. The recent news of brain metastasis added to her battle, compounded by her divorce from her husband of 11 years, Kurt Iswarienko, in April 2023.

Despite these hardships, Shannen Doherty has received support from celebrity friends like Kevin Smith and Selma Blair. Her resilience continues to inspire, highlighting the importance of unity and compassion in the face of adversity. Watch the video below for a glimpse into her unwavering spirit.
