Shannen Doherty Reveals Cancer Has Spread To Her Brain In Heartbreaking Update: ‘My Fear Is Obvious’

Shannen Doherty is sharing a heartbreaking health update. The actress revealed in a pair of candid Instagram videos this week that her cancer has spread to her brain. Shannen gave fans a look at her radiation treatment, which began in January, and noted in her caption that her “fear is obvious” in the clip. “I am extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life,” she wrote, adding gratitude for her medical team at Cedars-Sinai hospital. “But that fear…. The turmoil….. the timing of it all…. This is what cancer can look like,” she added. The “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed” alum was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and went into remission two years later after multiple rounds of chemotherapy, but in 2020 Shannen confirmed that her illness had returned and reached Stage 4. Her latest update comes weeks after she filed for divorce from husband Kurt Iswarienko after 11 years of marriage.
