Shannen Doherty has stage 4 breast cancer.<\/span>The \u201cBeverly Hills, 90210\u201d alum sat down with Amy Robach from ABC News and dropped the news. Robach has also fought breast cancer, and is currently cancer-free.<\/span>The actress revealed that she has actually been fighting the disease for about a year now, since early 2019, but she wanted to keep the news private. Up until now, she chose to tell only family and one costar of \u201c90210.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/Shannen Doherty<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>However, the news was going to come out via court documents because of a legal battle Doherty is in with State Farm Insurance about damage<\/a> done to her California home during the Woolsey Fire in 2018. She wanted to get ahead of the news in case there is a trial.<\/span>\u201cI\u2019d rather people hear it from me. I don\u2019t want it to be twisted. I don\u2019t want it to be a court document. I want it to be real and authentic,\u201d Doherty said. \u201cAnd I want to control the narrative. I want people to know from me, I just didn\u2019t want them to know yet.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/Shannen Doherty<\/span>
\n<\/span>Doherty openly admits that she is \u201cpetrified\u201d about what could happen.<\/span>\u201cI don\u2019t think that I\u2019ve processed it,\u201d Doherty said. \u201cIt\u2019s a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways. I definitely have days where I say, \u2018Why me?\u2019 And then I go, \u2018Well, why not me? Who else besides me deserves this?\u2019 None of us do.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/ABC News<\/span>Doherty found out about her breast cancer recurrence just before starting the reboot \u201c90210.\u201d The reboot filming began only four months after Luke Perry, who was a former co-star of Doherty\u2019s and a good friend, passed away suddenly. His death hit her hard.<\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s so weird for me to be diagnosed and then somebody who was, you know, seemingly healthy to go first,\u201d said Doherty. \u201cIt was really, like, shocking. And the least I could do to honor him was to do that show. I still haven\u2019t done enough, in my opinion.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/Shannen Doherty<\/span>Doherty did the reboot despite the recurrence to prove that her diagnosis wasn\u2019t stopping her from living her life.<\/span>\u201cOne of the reasons, along with Luke \u2014 that I did \u201890210\u2019 and didn\u2019t really tell anybody because I thought, people can look at that other people with stage four can work too. Like, you know, our life doesn\u2019t end the minute we get that diagnosis. We still have some living to do,\u201d she said.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/Shannen Doherty<\/span>Doherty says that costar Brian Austin Green was instrumental in helping her get through long days on set.<\/span>\u201cI had moments of great anxiety where I thought, \u2018I can\u2019t really do this,\u2019 and Brian was the one person who \u2014 of that group of people that knew \u2014 that I told, like, pretty quickly and said, \u2018Here, the \u2014 this is what I\u2019m dealing with,’\u201d she said. \u201cSo prior to shooting he would always call me and say, \u2018Listen, you know, whatever happens, I have your back.\u2019 He would look at me and be like, \u2018We got this, kiddo\u2019\u2026 so Brian helped me through a lot.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/Shannen Doherty<\/span>Doherty\u2019s first concern after her latest diagnosis was for her mom and her husband. She worries about how they\u2019ll cope if the worst happens.<\/span>But she knows they\u2019re strong, and she hopes that she will leave a positive legacy behind, no matter what happens.<\/span>\u201cI think the thing I want to do the most right now is I want to make an impact,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to be remembered for something bigger than just me.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/Shannen Doherty<\/span>Robach said that one quote that has stuck with Doherty is this: \u201cYou only die once. You live every day.\u201d<\/span>Watch the whole interview with Robach in this video.<\/span>Proper BCS greatergood_ctg_abovevideo<\/span><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
