90210 Shannen Doherty Diagnosed With Stage 4 Cancer

BEVERLY HILLS, CA. (THECOUNT) — Shannen Doherty has announced she’s been diagnosed with 4 cancer. The daunting diagnosis somes three years after the 90210 actress completed treatment for breast cancer.

Doherty, 48, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, opened up on “Good Morning America” that she had been privately living with cancer again for a year. She did not specify the type of cancer during her interview.

“I don’t think that I’ve processed it,” the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum told Amy Robach. “It’s a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways. I definitely have days where I say, ‘Why me?’ And then I go, ‘Well, why not me? Who else besides me deserves this?’ None of us do.”

Doherty is currently in the middle of a lawsuit against State Farm over claims she was forced to pay out of pocket after her house was “severely damaged” in the 2018 Woolsey fire. She said she decided to come forward with her diagnosis because legal documents, which mention her cancer, will soon be made public ahead of the trial.

“I’d rather people hear it from me,” she said. “I don’t want it to be twisted; I don’t want it to be a court document. I want it to be real and authentic and I want to control the narrative. I want people to know from me,” reports USAToday.
