Former Beverly Hills, 90210 celebrity Shannen Doherty disclosed her stage IV breast cancer diagnosis shows it has spread to her bones-“I don’t want to die.”
“I don’t want to die,” Shannen Doherty opened up about her anxiety during PEOPLE cover shoot.
Former Beverly Hills, 90210 celebrity Shannen Doherty said her stage IV breast cancer has spread to her bones. Nearly eight years, she has been fighting her cancer since she first revealed her diagnosis of breast cancer in 2015. Two years later, in 2017, she went into remission after a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment.
However, after three years, in 2019, her cancer returned with stage IV. Moreover, it was also metastatic. This spread was a year later, and her metastatic cancer had spread to her bones. Furthermore, it might be hard to control once it starts to leak.

According to a video posted on her Instagram, she explained a series of her situation. Though she is fighting her cancer now, she still keeps her looking gorgeously. Moreover, she seemingly tries to cheer herself up. In the video, she explains her spreading cancers using a simile that her cancer is like the Pac-man video game. In the game, a character aims to eat all the dots, which she compares to her cancer.
“It’s stage 4 breast cancer that spread into my bones. So, I think of it as the Pac-man video game where they start to go into your bones. But we’re on a really good regimen now and it’s working well for me, so day by day, month by month, year by year.”
“I found out, yeah January that it was brain mets. And so we had to do some radiation to the brain and then take oneof the big guys- I called him Bob. His name was Bob. I named him Bob. Bob had to get removed and dissected to see his pathology, and then I had to do some more brain radiation, so it’s been a journey. It was definitely one of the scariest thigns in my entire life.”
