Last June, Shannen Doherty revealed that specialists had diagnosed her with a new cancer, this time with brain metastasis. A new health setback for which she has been undergoing a very harsh radiation treatment since last January and with which she herself admitted that she felt totally "terrified."
Since she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, the Beverly Hills 90210 star has been trying to end the disease with various treatments. After remission in 2017, she returned in 2020, in stage 4. This year, the metastasis complicated her recovery. Still, Doherty puts on a brave face and takes refuge in those who love her most, her friends, Kristy and Julie, with whom she has spent a much-needed night of reconnection.
The actress, who can be seen wearing a black cap, poses with her two friends in a restaurant where they went out for dinner and a drink. Despite the intense treatments she is undergoing, the unforgettable Prue Halliwell from Charmed looks very good.
"A much-needed girls' night out," writes the actress on Instagram, where she shared the image with her more than two million followers. Some fans who were quick to send all their support and encouragement to the beloved actress, 52 years old, applauding her decision to go out and have fun and lean on those who love her most.
A few days ago, the actress also shared a photo of herself with all of them, regretting the criticism that her support for Israel in the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip aroused on the social network.
"Today has been a hard day, for obvious reasons and for not so obvious reasons," the actress wrote, referring to the heated debate on the Internet and everything that is happening in her life at the moment. "Every day I pick myself up and get up, hoping to do better. That people will do better. That the obvious is not so complicated. While I send love and peace to myself, I also send love to each of you, even those who have threatened me in the last week".
The actress has not had the best of summers, as she has also had to endure a difficult divorce process from her husband of eleven years, Kurt Iswarienko. A separation that was the last thing she would have wanted at the time she is living, but that she had no choice but to accept.
A very complicated separation, since recently new information appeared indicating that the actress's ex-husband had been unfaithful to her while she was facing her illness alone.
Despite everything she is going through, the actress assures that she does not give up. A few months ago, she revealed that her only task at the moment was to raise awareness in society of the importance of taking tests to obtain an early diagnosis. "We have to overcome fear and face whatever comes our way."
