Shannen Doherty Has Stage 4 Breast Cancer: ‘I’m Petrified’

Shannen Doherty is opening up about how her breast cancer has returned. 

The 48-year-old 90210 star was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2015, but after the cancer went into remission, Doherty is revealing that it has come back as Stage 4. 

The actress has been living with the diagnosis privately for almost a year now, but due to a court case with her insurance company, which details her health issues, she chose to come forward with the news herself to control the narrative surrounding her cancer. 

“I don’t think that I’ve processed it. It’s a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways,” Doherty told Good Morning America‘s Amy Robach during a Tuesday interview. “I have definite days where I say, ‘Why me?’ And then I have days where I say, ‘Why not me? Who else? Who else besides me deserves this?’ None of us do.”
