Shannen Doherty, best known for her role in the hit TV show Beverly Hills, 90210, is facing a new battle as she revealed she is currently battling stage 4 cancer. In a recent episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty,” the actress shared that she is making the difficult decision to sell off her material possessions in order to prioritize what truly matters in life.
Doherty expressed her desire to simplify and declutter her life, stating that she wants to focus on creating meaningful memories with her loved ones. She mentioned that she plans to use the extra money from selling her possessions to take her mother on vacations, something she has always wanted to do.
Despite hoping for medical treatments to extend her life, Doherty emphasized the importance of being prepared for any scenario. This is not the first time the actress has faced cancer, as she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and went into remission in 2017. However, in 2020, she revealed that the cancer had returned as stage 4.
Doherty, who has a passion for antique furniture shopping, admitted to accumulating a lot of possessions over the years. By letting go of unnecessary items, she hopes to make room for more memories with her loved ones. Although she acknowledged the emotional difficulty of parting with her possessions, she sees it as a way to help her loved ones have an easier transition in the future.
Breast cancer cases are on the rise in both women and men, with common symptoms including lumps, nipple discharge, and dimpling in the breast area. Doherty’s brave decision to focus on what truly matters serves as a reminder to cherish our loved ones and create lasting memories.
