Shannen Doherty, known for her resilience, recently shared a cancer update with her fans. She posted a video on Instagram, tears in her eyes, on January 12, 2023, revealing that her recent CT scan showed metastases in her brain. The video showed her getting fitted for a radiation mask, a process she found challenging due to her claustrophobia and the turmoil in her life.

Doherty also shared a throwback video from January when she was fitted for a thermoplastic mask. On January 16, she underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor and for biopsy. She expressed her fears about the surgery’s outcome and its impact on her loved ones.

Support poured in from friends, including Kevin Smith, Selma Blair, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Doherty thanked her friends for their support and praised her mother as a beacon of love.

In 2015, Doherty filed a lawsuit against her former manager for leaving her without health insurance, leading to a delayed breast cancer diagnosis. She later reached a settlement. The article ends with hopes for Doherty’s victory in her battle against cancer.

In January 2023, Doherty underwent surgery where doctors had to remove a tumor in her head and do a biopsy. She revealed this in an Instagram post five months later showing a video of her in the hospital and captioned it:”I am clearly trying to be brave, but I am petrified. The fear was overwhelming to me.”
