Shannen Doherty has shared an incredible update about her health struggle as she continues to battle stage four cancer.
During the latest episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast, the former Charmed star, 52, shared a promising update after months of heartbreaking updates.
“I’m on a new cancer infusion and after four treatments, we didn’t really see a difference and everybody wanted me to switch,” she said in a conversation with her doctor. “I just kinda was like, ‘we’re going to keep going with this and see.’”
Doherty’s decision to stick with the treatment proved to be correct, and after numerous rounds she finally began to see a positive development that her doctors had otherwise not expected.
“After the sixth or seventh treatment, we really saw it breaking down the blood-brain barrier. Do I call that a miracle? Yeah. For me, that happens to be a miracle right now. That I sort of rolled the dice and said, ‘let’s keep going.’”
“That it’s actually breaking down that blood-brain barrier is actually a miracle of that drug, a miracle of maybe God intervening and being like, ‘I’m gonna give her a break,’” she added. “Sometimes you’re looking for miracles in all the wrong places and they’re right in front of your face.”
The 90210 star was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and after undergoing treatment was said to be in remission in 2017. Then in 2020, she received a second breast cancer diagnosis, which was Stage 4, which has since spread to her bones and brain. Doherty then underwent surgery in January 2023 to remove a brain tumour.
“I don’t want to die,” she told People in an interview released following the launch of her podcast last year.

“I’m not done with living, I’m not done with loving, I’m not done with creating, I’m not done with, hopefully changing things for the better. I’m just not done,” she added. “My greatest memory is yet to come.”
Despite undergoing a wave of tough treatments, Doherty still found the strength to launch her podcast in late November.
“I always talk about the fact that we just need to squeeze out another three to five years, and then there’s going to be T-cell therapy or there’s going to be this,” the Charmed star said. “There’s going to be a lot more options that will give another five years. Then in those five years, there’s a whole other group of options, and eventually there’s going to be a cure,” she added.
