"Beverly Hills, 90210" actress Shannen Doherty, who has cancer, has to undergo chemotherapy again, according to her own words. "I have no idea how long I'll have to do the chemo. I have no idea if it's going to be three months or six months," the 53-year-old said in her podcast "Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty". "I can't predict that. My doctors can't predict that either. And it's scary," said Doherty.
At the same time, she felt hopeful for the first time in months, as the structure of her cancer cells had changed.
Doherty defended Princess Kate
Shannen Doherty announced in 2015 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then, she has been battling the disease - explicitly in public to encourage other sufferers.
In an interview in November, she was fierce: "I'm not done with life yet. I'm not done loving," she said. In March 2024, she stood in front of British Princess Kate, who also has cancer, by sharply criticizing the public pressure on Prince William's wife.
