How is Shannen Doherty doing today with her cancer?

Shannen Doherty recently made an appearance on Dr. Amin Mirhandi‘s podcast, Let’s Be Informative where she discussed her ongoing battle with stage 4 cancer.

The Beverly Hills 90210 alum shared that she is currently undergoing different treatments for stage IV breast cancer. As a result, she is getting a positive outlook.

She revealed that she currently undergoes different treatments for stage IV breast cancer, as a result, she has a positive outlook. Doherty told Mirhandi,

“I’m not gonna say what it is, I’m on a new cancer infusion, and after four treatments, we didn’t really see a difference, and everybody wanted me to switch, I just king of was like, ‘We’re going to keep going with this and see.’ And yeah, after the sixth or seventh treatment, we really saw it breaking down the blood-brain barrier.”

Shannen did not specify the type of cancer treatment she’s using, but she remains optimistic after seeing positive results.

“That it’s actually breaking down that blood-brain barrier is actually a miracle of that drug, a miracle of maybe God intervening and saying, ‘I’m gonna give her a break,’ Sometimes you’re looking for miracles in all the wrong places, and they’re right in front of your face.”

The Charmed actress said that keeping a positive attitude and hope helped her in her battle with cancer. She explained,

“Every day is a gift, and there are so many new things in the works that I think hope is always there, I think it’s so important. Listen, I can die today, I can die in 20 years, I don’t know. I can die walking outside of my house and a tree falling on me or a bus hitting me, whatever. Or I can die of cancer. But all I can do is live each day in as much as a positive manner with hope as I can and embrace it and feel like, ‘Wow, I get to wake up again today, what can I do?'”
