After eight years of battling cancer, former Beverly Hills 90210 star Shannen Doherty is sharing a sad update with fans.
First, she shared a video on Instagram that she captioned "January 9, 2023." The video showed a process that many cancer patients are familiar with — she was getting fitted for a radiation mask for treatment.

Though she was first diagnosed in early 2015, she had been in remission for years. "I definitely have days where I say 'why me.' And then I go, well, why not me? Who else? Who else besides me deserves this? None of us do," she said at the time.

SHE HAS BEEN VERY OPEN ABOUT HER CANCER JOURNEY.
In April, Shannen filed for divorce from her husband, Kurt Iswarienko. In a statement about the proceedings, her rep hinted that infidelity had been involved.
