Shannen Doherty shares "miracle" amid stage four cancer battle
Shannen Doherty has shared a promising update as she continues to battle stage four breast cancer.
The 90210 star shared the positive update during the latest episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast, after months of heartbreaking updates and her tough divorce from her husband of 14 years, Kurt Iswarienk.
“I’m on a new cancer infusion and after four treatments, we didn’t really see a difference and everybody wanted me to switch,” she said during a conversation with her doctor.
“I just kinda was like, ‘we’re going to keep going with this and see.’”
After multiple rounds of treatment, she began to see an unexpected positive development.
“After the sixth or seventh treatment, we really saw it breaking down the blood-brain barrier," she said.
"Do I call that a miracle? Yeah. For me, that happens to be a miracle right now. That I sort of rolled the dice and said, ‘let’s keep going.’”
“That it’s actually breaking down that blood-brain barrier is actually a miracle of that drug, a miracle of maybe God intervening and being like, ‘I’m gonna give her a break,’” she added.
“Sometimes you’re looking for miracles in all the wrong places and they’re right in front of your face.”
The star was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and has been open about her ongoing battle, from her 2017 remission to her 2020 stage 4 diagnosis, which caused the cancer to spread to spread to her bones and brain.
In January 2023 the former Charmed star underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour.
