Shannen Doherty has opened up to her fans about her health struggles. The actress, who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in February 2020, posted a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram before undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor on Wednesday.
“the work. They were going to do a biopsy and remove the tumor from my head. “I’m trying to be brave but I’m scared,” the 52-year-old captioned the photo. “Fear overwhelmed me.”
“I’m afraid of all the possible negative consequences. I worry about leaving my mother and the impact it will have on her. He added: “I’m afraid I won’t be able to see myself after the operation.” “This is what cancer looks like.”
The “Hot Seat” actress took to Instagram last week to announce that a CT scan on Jan. 5 revealed she had brain metastases. According to the Mayo Clinic, the disease occurs when cancer cells migrate from their original location to the brain.
Doherty captioned an Instagram video of herself following radiation treatment: “January 12th, first radiation treatment. It’s clear, I’m sorry. I had been through a lot in my life and I was very claustrophobic.”
He said: “The doctor told me. Amin Mirahdi and Cedar are great technicians from Sinai. But it can also look like cancer. “It’s a time for fear, confusion, everything.”
Doherty previously spoke about her health at ’90s Con during a Charmed panel hosted by Brenn L. Heldman, Rose McGowan, Holly Marie Combs, Bryan Krause, Dorian Gregory and Drew Fuller.
Doherty replied: “I feel good. thank you! When I asked how I feel. … “This audience is amazing.”
Since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and announcing in 2017 that the disease had gone into remission and then returned, Doherty has provided frequent updates on her treatment. “Is everything beautiful?” No, but it’s true.
I want to share this so we can all educate ourselves and know what cancer is like,” she wrote on Instagram in October 2021. “I want to encourage people to get mammograms, get regular check-ups, overcome their fears and deal with what they have.”
