Shannen Doherty Wants to "Embrace Life" as Cancer Has Spread to Her Bones | PEOPLE
/ people - Розваги
I’m in year 13 of Stage 4 spread to my bones. She’s the first public personality to share her story. It’s wonderful. The women who refused to share missed out on helping others, encouraging others, possibly even speeding up new treatments etc. Good for her.
I'm sorry for your diagnosis. But what do you mean she's the first public personality to share her story? There are literally dozens of public personalities who have shared their stories. I'm confused what you mean. Thanks if you choose to clarify. And good luck!
All praise 🙌 the Great Pumpkin 🎃!!!
@@purselmer5931 Hi, I’m referring to so many women that have dealt with Stage 4 and said nothing. Their following could have possibly helped so many. I can’t think of any well known person that publicized their battle. Elizebeth Warren, Olivia Newton John said little but not enough to fire up anything. Joan Collin’s sister refused to discuss it. If you are well known, you can move mountains. No one is coming to mind that fought for this cause. In my 13 years honed there isn’t much change.
@@dawndemet3331yes, you have the opportunity to move mountains, but you’re not obligated to do so. Everyone works through traumatic experiences in a different way. Some pick up the torch and raise awareness and some are so panicked when confronted with their own mortality that they can think of nothing but that. Whether you do or not, I personally wouldn’t fault those people for not choosing to be in the spotlight when they’re dealing with potentially the most traumatic experience ever. I don’t fault people for that. Famous or not. People are just people, after all.
@@ODDentitypod I respect your thoughts. As for me, if I ever had a force in my life to help make a change so others could never have to deal with this, I’d do it. I feel it’s a shame to waste that opportunity. I’m in 13 years of this and the suffering and death still shock me. When you see Mothers dying young, and their children growing without her, it’s awful. Younger and younger women are getting this and dying. We need help.
"I'm not done." Such a POWERFUL statement! Stay resilient Shannen! 🎀 🙏🏾❤
not really.
this should boost the sales of chemo drugs and wigs.
@@msf8297 We can agree to disagree. 🙄
@@danavixen6274 I agree with you. It's twisted to reduce her struggle to money and frankly insulting. The medical community dedicates their entire lives to helping people.
Not at all: it's narcissistic
I lost my brother at 30 years old who died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Appreciate today.
She was my childhood. From Beverly Hills 90210 to Charmed..
I wish her all the best & pray that she still heals & get through this.. As a leukemia survivor myself, I know that nothing is impossible. Her positive attitude & mental strength is the most important thing to fight & survive this. 👍
I even remember her in Little House on the Prairie!
@@justinshelton5026me too! I still watch the show all the time! 💕
Oddly, she was born on the same day and year as me. We're practically twins. . .
@@palmtrees89 Not in the eyes, I hope 😏
At this point, she’s terminal.
What a great woman. She looks beautiful. Her attitude is fantastic. I hope she's here for a long time. Inspirational people like her are so needed.
So very true.
Listen. We Love Us A Shannen Doherty. 🩵 She’s got this!
You said it all for a lot of us
My thoughts exactly!
God bless you sweetie❤️
“My greatest memory is yet to come.” Love that sentiment
What a strong human being, hearing it spread to her bones and brain made my heart drop. No one has ever had anything bad to say about her, and she stays strong. Very admirable!
Nothing bad to say? Are you kidding there were years and years of rumours of her bullying on 90210 and in marriages. Not putting her down but your comment holds no truth!😮
She has a bad reputation in the 90s. She got booed off stage at award shows.
She had a very bad reputation in the 90's, but I think it's admirable that she realized she could better herself and she did. She went from the bully to someone to look up to.
@LisaIsabelle that happens with age. We mature and mentally grow as we get older (hopefully) a woman in her 50s isn't the same maturity she was in her 20s
@@tigerslillyTrue..but she was still known even in her older years to still be a difficult person. Sure she has gotten better, but she is still a difficult person. I am grateful though she is trying to improve herself, even though she is the way she is.
She’s always been resilient. Sending her so much love! 💗
Oh yes. Love from me as well.
I can't stop crying. When she brought up Luke, I was done. What a wonderful and strong person Shannon is. ❤️ 😢
She speaks really eloquently about her situation. I admire her strength and courage. ❤❤
Thank you Shannen for being so open and transparent.
You’re amazing. Thanks for being so positive amidst the negativity.
This is her mission. This is her life's work. She is an inspiration and a great example. All of the best Shannen.
She is a force! I admire her, and wish her a full recovery. She is lighting the way and certainly helping others conquer their own fears. I've always liked her, and only wish her continued happiness.
She looks amazing for everything she has gone through, I’m glad she is speaking out. So many people suffer in silence.
This is true but some people do well in Silence and don’t suffer and do well .
I always loved her acting, even during her bad girl days. God bless her. Going through this for 8 years is no joke. And she sounds very grounded and strong.
Wow! I just lost a friend who took their own life and i wished she have seen this in her low periods. I’m so proud of Shannen to push through
My condolences....😔🙏🏾🕊️❤️
Yes, so sorry to think how alone you feel except for true friends
Sorry for your loss❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard to realize someone close to us had a struggle we couldn’t see nor help with. I wish you well in finding peace in this situation. Condolences 💐
She's looking great. I've been in remission 5 years now. I'm feeling safe enough that I got my survivers tattoo last summer. Thank you Shannen Doherty for educating the public about what it's like to be so greatfull to live.
Much love and prayers to Shannen on her healing journey. We stand behind you ❤❤
Congratulations. ❤ Love to you. May I join you in May 2025. Thank you.
I just met her in October and she was full of excitement and warmth to her fans, it was awesome! She is strong and confident. Stay strong Shannen! ❤
I am just a couple of years younger than her and grew up seeing her as an outstanding beauty; she always had a touch of fierceness and character in interpreting her roles, never seemed to fit into the 'just good-looking barbie', and that made her special to me. All that strength I see it now again while she's battling a pest that a big part of my family has been struggling with for generations. Respect!
She was the perfect brunette. ❤
So many years fighting and still a positive attitude . What a lovely inspiration ❤
When she said its been beautiful too. I saw that when our teenage son had leukemia. It was hard, but we also had some wonderful times together, times that neither of us would ever change or give back.
My husband had a bilobe aneurysm, stroke and open heart surgery 15 years ago. He had to learn life again. He was strong and pushed hard to get better. You are so inspiring to stay strong during your trials and tribulations.
You are so beautiful Shannen! ❤
For all she's been through she looks wonderful. ❤
She has really turned life around and become such a warrior and champion to so many people as she continues to share her story. We keep pulling for her!
❤
She gives me hope while I'm on the same journey!
God bless you. My prayers are with you. ❤🙏
Thank you!!@@maryanntrinidad9212
She keeps going. Tough cookie. I feel like she is a lifelong friend. Same age as her and watched her my whole life. Bless her.
You're definitely invited to her funeral. 🔥
I pray she gets better and I saw someone wrote Shes in year 13 of stage 4 praying you’re not in pain and somehow you all get a miracle. Don’t forget there’s new advances in medicine all the time. Wishing you all the best and sending ❤❤❤
Such a positive outlook; people need to hear her story. Shannen can help so many deal with this deadly disease!
Shannon, i'm your age and grew up watching you on 90210, you are a Warrior! Sending you love and continued strength xo
What a strong remarkable woman. Shannon is such an inspiration for everyone. She has such a strong fighting woman. If anyone can beat this she can. Her attitude, her strength is incredible. She's a fighter. Great interview. ❤
She sure is.
Beautiful woman. Beautiful and strong soul. Keep going momma 💙💪
What an inspiration! She is so incredibly strong and intelligent and stunningly beautiful. I have so much respect for her! ❤❤
I’ve always loved Shannen and followed her and her story for years. I hope she continues to live her life as well as she can, that she is loved and cared for and surrounded by her loved ones as she faces every day with these challenges. She’s a beautiful and strong and intelligent woman. Love you Shannen! Keep fighting!
Keep fighting,Shannen! We love you.
I grew up watching her. I feel horrible hearing what she’s gone through. Wishing her the best with her health. 💙💙💙
Her great healthy attitude is what keeping her alive. She looks good.
She’s definitely a fighter 🙏🏾❤️💪🏾
Shannen Doherty stay strong and best of health, you were absolutely brilliant as Prudence in the series "Charmed".
Wow. She’s an amazing person. Such a strong and resilient person.
"I'm not done living."
Shine on, Shannen! #survivorship
I never cared for her as an actress but she has grown on me. It's amazing how beautiful she looks. I think that she looks better than ever. It would be nice to see her acting again. Good luck to her.
Keep fighting the good fight, Shannen. Your prayer warriors are on the job!
I’ve always liked her…glad that she’s speaking out and being such a great motivator!!!!🙏🏽 Her and Luke🩷 Still hard to believe he’s gone. Brenda & Dylan 4ever.
I've always loved Shannon Doherty ❤ stay strong, keep fighting girl ❤
WOW! Her resilience during this "chapter" in her life, reminds me of the several episodes on Little House as Jenny. When she almost drowned trying to retrieve her locket and Jeb saved her. She was introduced to a man who helped her through her struggles, while she cared for a hurt bird. That is what I am seeing here......she is on a journey for her life, yet she is still trying to reach out to help others. How ironic, or even insightful, that series of episodes was in comparison to today. She may have been in other shows, but to me she will always be Jenny from Little House.
Her breakthrough role for sure!!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
I’ve always loved this woman. Stay strong, Shannen! ❤
She's such a brave and admirable woman.
I have loved Shannen since her Little House On The Prairie days. She seemed to have an inner strength even back then. I am beyond impressed with how she is handling her illness. I wish I could give her a big hug, not because she is a celebrity but because she is so incredibly inspiring and seems like an extraordinary human being.
I was not aware she was on Little House on The Prairie! I guess I need to rewatch the series!
I've always loved her acting for the same reason. She has a tough sexiness about her.
She was in Little House?!
@@knittyad2906Yes. She was. It was after Laura Ingalls grew up and was no longer on the show. I remember seeing Shannon Doherty in one episode and was in awe of her charisma. Then I watched "BH 90210" and "Charmed" because she was in it.
Best wishes for you! You're my childhood, we love you beautiful Shannen. Stay strong.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Shannen!
Literally the bravest human being on the planet. I remember people talking about her tenacity in the 90’s like it was a detriment. Now she’s using it to kick cancer’s a**! More power to you, Shannen! We love you and are rooting for you!
Have you met every single person on the planet and concluded she's the bravest one?
You don't know how to use the word "literally".
@@sineadiloveyou The overall tone of my post was positive and uplifting. Does it make you feel superior to tear others down in the face of that? Go for it. Your comment literally shows how being overly literal can showcase what a jerk some people can be. ✌🏼
@@monicawmonica wow…. Can’t say something nice without getting sass in return, I guess. Very sad that some people need to pick other people’s statements apart to get attention. Have YOU met everyone on the planet and decided she’s NOT?!
@@kailynbrennan1412 no, I have not met everyone on the planet, but I have made no statement. You are the one who made the statement. // What sass do you mean? I only asked you a question, without any insulting words.
This was a beautiful piece. She has grown and evolved so much from her days on 90210. Love to see it and I wish her the best ❤
Stay positive through your journey. You are an inspiration to others.
Always my fav from 90210, praying for you Shannen! You are a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration 🩵
Strong beautiful inspiring women. I pray she lives a long healthy life and finds her true love.
You are an inspiration Shannen, I wish you a multitude of greatest memories ❤️.
She's a brave beautiful strong lady. I've always liked her and I certainly admire her.❤️❤️ Such an incredible inspiration to us all. Sending love, hugs and positive thoughts and prayers to her.
She's a fighter God be with her ..and I feel once a person gets to stage 4 let them have ANY clinical trial they want ..what do they have to loose ..but everything to gain. God bless her.🙏💗
As a disabled person I really needed to hear this message. So glad she’s speaking out. Disabled and chronically ill people are still people with full lives and deserve to be treated as such.
Sure.
"My greatest memory is yet to come!" Words can be powerful and Shanen is no different. Powerful, brave and a true warrior. I watch Bev Hills 90210, then she was in Charmed and I have it all. The disc's slide out of a sleeve that is the BOS (book of shadows) with the creatures. I took the DVDs out and put them in a zipped pouch. It is beautiful!
This is the best comment I’ve read today. You’re such and intriguing and wonderful personality I really appreciate your beautiful and well chosen words
@@AndySmith-pw2pn uhm heh, thank you. You really are kind!
@@moriganna67ify you’re welcome♥️ don’t mean to bother you but I’m certain that you’re a very kindhearted person and I’ll really like to know you better if you don’t mind.
And soon this bot, I mean Nigerian prince will need your assistance to get his millions to safety, you just need to make a small payment for customs fees, all very logical.
@@Xiroi87 best comment yet! 👌 😆
I've loved her since Our house. I watched 90210 religiously because of Shannon same with Charmed. I watch everything she does. I'm so impressed with how strong, beautiful, and all around Amazing she is. I hope and pray she gets every chance to live life to the fullest. LOVE 💕 you Shannon your in my prayers
I love her strength! She's so inspiring. Prayers for health, continuous strength, peace, hope and comfort....
Beautiful and inspiring woman! I wish her the best! ❤❤
My greatest memory is yet to come! Praying for her and thank you for all she has said and done to inspire others🙏❤️
Love you Shannen, we are with you! You are very strong and confident, you've always been and that's what we love about you, always voicing your opinion, figting for the animals... How candid are you here, how wise!!! You are eternal, queen!!!!
Very inspirational. I think she will help a lot of people who are struggling with similar issues. Her message is simple yet so powerful. Wishing Shannon all the best in her healing journey.
prayers for shannen, hope she recovers
She Is A Real Life Super Hero She Truly Is❤ People That Go Though This Are All Super Hero's ❤️
Love her so much! My Brenda Walsh forever! You’ve got this love!! Keep fighting! ❤
She is so so so inspiring. Her courage and strength is amazing. I can barely walk or even stand up and no doctor has a clue what’s going on with me. No diagnosis at all. I’m ready to throw in the towel and give up. Seeing someone go through as much as Shannen has & still remain so positive, gives me hope. Praying for her. 🙏🏼
Praying for you too, Natasha ❣
@@catw6274thank you! 💖
I am so sorry to hear that! I am curious, do you live in an area with Lyme disease and if so, have you been tested? There are people around here that have similar symptoms due to chronic Lyme disease. It's not a very understood illness.
Don't give up ! You should make an appointment with other specialists. There must be a solution to your problem❤
@@AfrohairliciousI’ve seen several specialists & 12 MRI’s. They’re all clueless. The only think they can come up with is that I have cervical dizziness but don’t know what’s wrong with my legs. So frustrating.
What a strong and beautiful soul. She can help so many with her knowledge and dedication to survival. Praying for you Shannon. 🙏❤️🙏
She is such an inspiration; God bless her!
This was such a beautiful interview! Thank you for sharing Shannon! I hope and pray you have many years on this earth 🌎❤
She is such a powerful human being ❤
I love Shannon! She was such a talented actress. I will always see her as Brenda Walsh from 9021. She is a beautiful and courageous woman. I have so much respect and admiration for her. A lot of people have said awful things about her. But I always remained a loyal fan
"My greatest memory is yet to come". Beautiful.
Truly amazing human being. She is brave beyond words. Shannon was and is always beautiful on the inside and out. I can definitely see why she is still with us. She is a message to us all that no matter what you face. Never give. God bless her and may the power of the Holy Spirit heal her.
Omg, my heart goes out to Shannon, her family and the women who are going through this.❤️🙏
Stay strong Shannen! We're pulling for you!! Make the most of every day!
Hearing her strength thru this very scary situation is truly inspiring. She has always been my favorite and someone I’ve looked up to because she is such a strong, powerful person 💞🥺
I admire her outlook, positivity, strength, determination, knowledge and grace. She has a powerful message we all should hear and sets an example we all should follow.
Plenty of hair.she stopped chemo. 13 yrs at stage 4. Miracle.👏👏👏👏👏
WOW. You're an inspiration. Keep fighting Shannon. To me you'll always be "Brenda" from 90210
I just turned 50 and I feel exactly this way. Praying for Shannen and appreciate her sharing so vulnerably.
"I'm not done." I FELT that!!!
You’ve got this. Keep your positive outlook, and focus on when you’ll be working again, There’s some comments on here that are very positive, and some who are going through the same journey. I’m keeping y’all in my prayers.
She has been through so much. Losing her dad, luke perry, the wildfires in CA, and her health. She demonstrates so much intelligence and zest for life and courage. She has one of the nicest smiles of anyone. Very talented actress. watch her act and see all the subtle movements she does with her eyes & body. Also I dont think she did anything especially crazy that any 19-early 20s person has not done before. The entertainment industry can be very unfair and unforgiving. They are quick to put you on a pedestal but also quick to kick you down.
She acts because she genuinely loves doing it, and you have to let the chips fall where they may. She continues to put her time into giving back & communicating. *She seems to have a big heart and feels things very deeply.* She is someone to admire and care about. It takes guts to continue to be on camera and give back to the community and she also looks great & attractive. Im glad she is in a good place in life with access to the best medical care and good weather/lifestyle. She deserves it. She should be proud of herself. We love you.
She looks so good and such a fighter. Just lost my 59 year old family member
😢😢
Glad to see she is still here and staying strong. I've always been a fan of hers since the 90s. It's sad her and Luke never got to make their show together, I would have loved to see that. BH 90210 is still one of my favorite shows and I re-watch it every now and again.
I was a big Beverly Hills 90210 fan and Brenda was, and still is, my favorite character on the show. Same with Prue on Charmed. I think it has a lot to do with Shannen Doherty. I remember her back to Little House On The Prairie days so that was why I began watching BH 90210. It also turned out that BH 90210 led to me watching one of my favorite shows ever, Lois & Clark The New Adventures Of Superman because Dean Cain was on BH 90210 as a love interest for Brenda. It was the first time I ever heard the word "kismet", IYKYK. My prayers go out to her. It's scary, I'm sure but she comes from stronger stuff and has the courage to bring this to the public. And of course RIP Luke Perry. I was always on Team Brenda/Dylan. 💞💜
She is so strong, incredible ❤
What a lovely, resilient and all around tough chick. What an inspiration.
Praying for her!!!Keep positive, that's everything! So precious,keep fighting!!! Best wishes and healing!
Keep believing in love, Shannen
Thanks for sharing your powerful story, your positive attitude , your strength, your vulnerability, your journey! You’re inspiring. ❤😊
She’s super strong & resilient to keep fighting & living…she’s amazing ❤❤❤
Thank you Shannon for your courage and strength to not only fight but share your journey. You are truly an inspiration for all of us.
Bless this woman for sharing her story
I could say soooooo many positive things about the 30 plus year's that I've enjoyed you and your craft. I could go on and on about how positive you are, even when faced with such serious challenges. But after seeing and hearing this video, what I feel most lead to say is... WOW! THANK YOU! KEEP LIVING LIFE!
Many prayers & much love. char 💜
She's in my prayers. What a strong gal ❤❤
