The 52-year-old actress, who is battling stage four breast cancer, told fans she hopes to “live another three to five years.”
In a recent episode of her podcast “Let's Be Clear,” the Charmed star explained that she could benefit from new treatments like T-cell therapy if she lives a few more years.
“There will be a period of adjustment for people with breast cancer. “There will be many more options that will give us another five years,” she said on her podcast “Let’s Be Clear.” Then over the course of those five years there will be a whole range of other options and ultimately there will be a cure. »
The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She went into remission in 2017, but the cancer returned in 2020. Last year she had a brain tumor removed and in November she discovered the disease had spread to her bones.
When Shannen Doherty posted the news, she hinted that she was determined to keep fighting. “I don’t want to die,” she told People magazine at the time. I'm not done with life yet… I'm just not done yet. »
Last year, Shannen Doherty also filed for divorce after 12 years of marriage to Kurt Iswarienko.
