Shannen Doherty died at age 53 after a lengthy battle with cancer
Shannen Doherty died on Saturday, July 13, after a lengthy battle with cancer, Us Weekly can confirm. She was 53.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in 2015. She shared the news nearly three years after she went into remission. “It’s going to come out in a matter of days or a week that — I’m stage IV. So my cancer came back. And that’s why I’m here,” she said on Good Morning America at the time. “I don’t think I’ve processed it. It’s a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways.
Eight months later, she told best friend Sarah Michelle Gellar that her diagnosis was not a “death sentence,” adding, “I feel strong and healthy and confident and happy.” A few months later, she revealed via Instagram that her breast cancer had spread to her brain. “January 12, the first round of radiation took place. My fear is obvious. I am extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life,” Doherty captioned a video of herself tearfully undergoing treatment. “That fear … The turmoil … the timing of it all … This is what cancer can look like.”
