However, the 52-year-old actress, best known for her role in "Charmed," expressed her determination to live. She recounted how she refused to give up when a glass slipped through her hand, emphasizing her perseverance, dedication, and faith in facing the challenges. "I’m not a quitter," she affirmed.
She plans to discuss her eight-year battle with cancer, her divorce, life outlook, and more in her upcoming podcast, "Let's Clear the Air with Shannen Doherty," set in a memoir format. The premiere is scheduled for December 6. Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. She announced remission in 2017, but the disease returned in 2019.
Doherty reflects on the existential questions raised by her illness and its recurrence, leading her to seek a greater purpose in life. She hopes her podcast will raise awareness about the disease and contribute to finding a cure. "It’s crazy to me that there still isn’t a cure," she says.
