Shannen Doherty Reveals ‘Miracle’ Treatment in Her Cancer Battle
Shannen Doherty says she took a gamble on fighting her stage 4 breast cancer with a new infusion treatment—and so far, it’s proved to be a “miracle.”
Speaking on her Let’s Be Clear podcast Monday, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star said she’d stuck with the unspecified treatment after others were initially unimpressed.
“After four treatments, we didn’t really see a difference and everybody wanted me to switch, and I just was like, ‘We’re gonna keep going with this and see.’ After the sixth, seventh treatment we really saw it breaking down the blood-brain barrier. Do I call that a miracle? Yeah. For me, that happens to be a miracle right now. That I sort of rolled the dice and said, ‘Let’s keep going,’” she said, referring to the drug’s ability to cross the blood-brain barrier in order to target the cancer.
