Shannen Doherty, the former star of the hit TV series Beverly Hills, 90210, announced on social that her breast cancer has spread to her brain. 

She shared a video of preparing for treatment and captioned the video: “January 12, 2023. On January 5th, my ct scan showed Mets in my brain.

A video showed the process of getting fitted for the mask that you wear during radiation to your 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. I am fortunate as I have great doctors like Dr. Amin Mirahdi and the amazing techs at Cedar Sinai. But that fear…. The turmoil….. the timing of it all…. This is what cancer can look like,” she wrote. 

Many fans have commented on the video offering their support.

Sarah Michelle Gellar wrote, “You are a warrior.”

Selma Blair also commented, “This is a lot. This is a lot to take on, still again. And I am wishing for all the wise peace you have learned to find you in the terror moments. To know we are holding you. Love. All love. 💛”

The only caption she wrote was, “January 9, 2023.”

She did not clarify what has been happening since the photos.

Doherty was first diagnosed back in 2015 with breast cancer. She received treatment for it, which included a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation.

In 2017, she went into remission and just three years later was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.

She attempted to keep her diagnosis of stage four breast cancer a secret because she was filming the reboot for 90210.

She wrote, “People with stage four can work too. Like, you know, our life doesn’t end the minute we get that diagnosis. We still have some living to do.”

Doherty has been known to be an advocate for cancer awareness through her posts on social media, specifically on Instagram.  

Doherty has starred in numerous movies and TV shows including 90210, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Fortress, Heathers and Charmed.
