Amid Brain Cancer Battle, Shannen Doherty Spotted Smiling At Dinner With Friends

Shannen Doherty was spotted on a night on the town with her friends this week amid her brutal brain cancer battle. The actress went to dinner in Malibu at Nobu and was seen leaving the establishment with her female friend and security guard.

She was smiling and looking healthy as she left the restaurant and sporting a beige cardigan over a red patterned blouse. 

Last week, she spent the day celebrating her friend and Beverly Hills, 90210 costar Brian Austin Green’s 50th birthday. In a photo she shared on Instagram the two were posing with Ian Ziering by a pool looking happy. 

This comes about one month after she revealed her stage four breast cancer had spread to her brain. In multiple Instagram posts, she detailed the strenuous process she is currently experiencing in an attempt to battle the cancer. 

She kept this a secret for five months from fans and announced the news by sharing videos of her crying while getting a mask so that she could undergo radiation treatment. “My fear is obvious. I am extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life…But that fear…. The turmoil….. the timing of it all…. This is what cancer can look like,” she wrote.

On June 14, she released another video before getting surgery to remove the tumor in her head. She put on a brave face but shared, “I am petrified. The fear was overwhelming to me. Scared of all possible bad outcomes, worried about leaving my mom and how that would impact her. Worried that I would come out of surgery not me anymore. This is what cancer can look like.” 

Doherty was first diagnosed in 2015 with breast cancer and in 2017 she entered remission. Three years later doctors discovered that her cancer had returned.
