Shannen Doherty remains a symbol of resilience and courage. Recently, the Beverly Hills 90210 star opened about her battle with cancer once again and updated her fans of her condition, and unfortunately, she shared some devastating news.

Doherty’s stage four breast cancer spread to her brain.
She beat cancer once, but was diagnosed again in February 2019. Ever since, she documents her journey and speaks openly of the challenges life with cancer brings.

On Tuesday, Doherty posted a video on her Instagram account of her receiving treatment as tears filled her eyes. The caption on the video began, “January 12, 2023.”

“On January 5th, my ct scan showed Mets in my brain. Yesterdays video was showing the process of getting fitted for the mask which you wear during radiation to your brain,” the caption reads. “January 12, the first round of radiation took place.

“My fear is obvious. I am extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life,” Doherty, 52, wrote. “I am fortunate as I have great doctors like Dr Amin (Mirhadi) and the amazing techs at cedar sinai. But that fear…. The turmoil….. the timing of it all…. This is what cancer can look like.”

A day before, she posted a throwback video from January on which she was getting fitted for a thermoplastic mask that covered her face and neck.
