Shannen Doherty was alone when her doctor called to break the tragic news that her cancer had returned.
In a new feature for Elle magazine, the "90210" star gets candid about her health journey battling stage 4 breast cancer. She wrote how she immediately starting researching experimental treatments.
"I was like, 'OK, do I have good karma? Do I have bad karma? Why would I have bad karma?'" the 49-year-old said. "I started taking stock of my life and the things I'd done, and the things I hadn't done. How I was with people."
In February 2019, Doherty and her photographer husband Kurt Iswarienko, held a dinner party for friends and family and invited her doctor to speak to everyone.
Doherty revealed her treatments would be hormone therapy and "a second targeted drug that is often effective at stabilizing metastatic disease."
"Everybody got to ask questions and know what we were looking at as a group," the actress explained, "as a team."
