Shannen Doherty shares ‘miracle’ update on stage 4 cancer battle

Shannen Doherty is a fighter, and her latest health update is proof of that. The beloved “Beverly Hills, 90210” actress has been battling stage 4 cancer, but she recently shared some good news with her fans. In a recent episode of her podcast “Let’s Be Informative,” Doherty revealed that her new infusion treatment plan has yielded positive results.

After four treatments, Doherty and her doctors didn’t see much of a difference, and they were considering switching to a different treatment plan. However, Doherty decided to stick with it and keep going. And after the sixth and seventh treatments, they finally saw a breakthrough. The treatment had successfully broken down the blood brain barrier, which was the result Doherty was hoping for.

For Doherty, this was nothing short of a miracle. She shared, “Do I call that a miracle? For me, that happens to be a miracle right now. I sort of rolled the dice and said, ‘Let’s keep going.'” This positive outcome is a testament to Doherty’s strength and determination in the face of such a difficult battle.

The 52-year-old actress was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She went into remission two years later, but unfortunately, the cancer returned as stage 4 in 2019. Last June, Doherty shared that the cancer had metastasized to her brain, and by November, it had spread to her bones. Despite these setbacks, Doherty has remained resilient and determined to fight.

While Doherty did not specify the type of treatment she is using, she is staying positive and hopeful after seeing the results. She believes that the treatment, along with maybe a little help from God, is responsible for the breakthrough. She said, “That it’s actually breaking that blood brain barrier is a miracle of that drug and a miracle of maybe God intervening and being like, ‘I’m going to give her a break.'”

Doherty’s positive attitude and unwavering strength have been an inspiration to many. Despite her health struggles, she has remained optimistic and focused on living her life to the fullest. In December, she reflected on the past year, which she described as “turbulent.” She underwent brain surgery and also learned about her estranged husband’s alleged affair with another woman. But even through all of that, Doherty says she is living the happiest version of herself.

She shared on her podcast, “With all of that, I was actually saying this to myself the other night, ‘God, I think I’m actually starting to live the happiest version of myself.'” Doherty’s positive outlook and determination to find happiness even in the face of adversity is truly admirable.

Doherty’s journey has not been easy, but she continues to inspire and motivate others with her strength and resilience. Her positive attitude and unwavering determination to fight her battle with cancer are a reminder to all of us to never give up hope. She has shown that sometimes, miracles can be found in the most unexpected places, and we should always keep our faith and stay positive.

As we continue to follow Shannen Doherty’s journey, let us all send her love, strength, and positive thoughts. She is truly a warrior, and we are all rooting for her. Let her latest health update serve as a reminder to never lose hope and always keep fighting. We are all charmed by her strength and courage, and we know that she will continue to inspire us all.
