Shannen Doherty says her cancer has spread to her bones: ‘I don’t want to die’

She continued, “I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better.”

The 52-year-old was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. In 2017, she revealed her cancer was in remission. But in 2019, it returned, and she was diagnosed with metastatic stage 4 cancer.

Doherty’s dark humor led her to jokingly name her brain tumor Bob when her cancer spread earlier this year. In June, she revealed on Instagram that she had the surgery to remove the brain tumor five months earlier.

“He had to get removed and dissected to see his pathology,” she wrote at the time. “It was definitely one of the scariest things I’ve ever been through in my entire life.”

Now that the cancer is in her bones, the “Charmed” star is hoping to be accepted into clinical trials for new treatments.

“My greatest memory is yet to come,” she said. “I pray. I wake up and go to bed thanking God, praying for the things that matter to me without asking for too much. It connects me to a higher power and spirituality. My faith is my mantra.”

WAFB - Full Story

I can only imagine how scary this must be for her and her family and friends. Cancer sucks.

We all have our own trials and tribulations in life, and life isn't always fair. The cards that we get dealt aren't worth a shite at times. But unless any of us have been diagnosed with terminal disease, we all have time to change the road we're on and change the trajectory of our life.

If your situation is dire or dim, perhaps seeing a story like this will allow you to see things from a different perspective and be grateful that you have the opportunity today to achieve a different result or resolution.

Peace is found in acceptance. Find things or people that are fulfilling to you and always be looking to grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Allow yourself to let go of any regrets, mistakes, and shame that you've been carrying.

And surround yourself with people who want to be around you and enjoy each other's company.
