Actress
Shannen Doherty hasn’t been shy about her battle with breast cancer since first
getting diagnosed in 2015. She has been refreshingly honest about the toll it
has taken on her and her family, often posting photos of herself during and
after chemotherapy and radiation.
She’s
seen both in the middle of her treatments and on vacation, relaxing. She even
recently posted a video of herself dancing!
WhenDoherty’s cancer spread, she knew she was in for an even larger uphill battle
against her disease. Despite the bad news and all the physical and emotional
pain, all the support she has received from friends, family, and fans alike has
given her hope.
But
it’s perhaps Doherty’s latest photo that is the most tragic yet hopeful to
date. In it, she’s in a hospital bed undergoing treatment, and looks totally
defeated in a fetal position.
But
the caption says otherwise. Now scroll down to read the message Doherty wanted
to share with her followers.
Shannen
Doherty has been extremely honest about her battle with cancer in the past few
months, posting many pictures of the many stages of her treatment.
The
actress has been very vocal about her emotions, too, despite being in the
public eye. There are good days, and then there are bad days. And then, there
are very bad days.
In
her most heartbreaking and honest picture to date, she writes: “#fbf to a very
short bit ago. Day after #chemoday isn’t always so great. Sometimes one isn’t
able to dance, or eat or even to think about the next day. Sometimes it just
feels like you aren’t going to make it. That passes. Sometimes the next day or
2 days later or 6 but it passes and movement is possible. Hope is possible.
Possibility is possible. To my cancer family and everyone suffering… stay
courageous. Stay strong. Stay positive. #wegotthis #fightlikeagirl.”
Though
Doherty seems defeated at times, her support system has been there for her
every step of the way. Fellow actors and actresses have come out in support of
her on social media, especially in the month of October, which is the month
dedicated to breast cancer awareness.
Doherty
is especially thankful for her husband, who has been her rock throughout the
ordeal. They celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary in Mexico, despite
her illness.
Doherty’s
mother has also been a source of hope and inspiration during this trying time.
We are hoping Doherty will recover from this awful disease very soon.
Please
SHARE to show your support for Doherty in this tough time, and for all breast
cancer sufferers and survivors!
