Shannen Doherty is Still a Cancer Slayer

The actress was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2015 and since then she has shared her journey on social media. In April 2017 she posted on Instagram that she is in remission. The former “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed” star and cancer awareness advocate just shared another update on her health:

Still in remission. I imagine that I’ll always worry to a certain extent but I think we all worry about something. Cancer is a beast that changes one. For me, it changed me in a lot of beautiful ways. But it also gave me a new level of anxiety about things. All understandable. I share my experience to help connect, bring awareness and hopefully encourage those going thru cancer to stay positive. So many of you have helped me with your words, prayers and support. You have helped pave the path I have walked and continue to walk and I’m eternally grateful for that. I can only hope I have helped you as well. Much love to you all. #remission #cancerslayer

And here is another post she shared just a day before, which showed her mom getting a scan:

Went to doctor today for tumor marker test and bone density scan. Yes, that’s my mom… I figured why not. She got bone test done as well. I adore my doctor and all the great people who work there. But not going to lie, there is always anxiety waiting for test results to come back. Reoccurrences happen. And I can’t imagine how it must feel to beat back cancer only to have it return again. For now, I stay positive, stay healthy and do what I can to help promote research so that cancer can be beaten once and for all. I’ll keep you posted on my results. Btw… my mom is great! @su2c #theangelesclinic

We are so happy she is doing well and pray that one day this horrible disease in all its forms is finally obliterated!

One organization we support that is working toward that goal is the Concern Foundation.

The “C” word is so scary and affects so many lives. How have you been affected by cancer?
