Shannen Doherty shares cancer update generating ‘fear’ and ‘turmoil’

In an Instagram post showing the “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Charmed” alum receiving radiation therapy earlier this year, Doherty wrote that a CT scan on Jan. 5 indicated the cancer had metastasized to his brain.

“My fear is obvious,” she wrote. “I’m extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life.”

Doherty said she was fortunate to be treated by medical staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, “but that fear…the turmoil…the timing of it all…C is what cancer can look like.”

In the clip, Doherty’s face is bathed in red light as she tears herself apart.

In April, she filed for divorce from Kurt Iswarienko. Without mentioning the lawsuit, she wrote on Instagram on April 21, “The only people who deserve to be in your life are those who treat you with love, kindness and total respect.”
