Shannen Doherty spoke of a miracle. She did this while reporting on her Stage 4 podcast, Let's Be Clear, the early results of some experimental treatments she underwent that are said to slow the progression of her aggressive tumor. A touch of hope for the 52-year-old actress, who went down in TV history with the role of Brenda Walsh, protagonist of “Beverly Hills 90210”. A bright spot that comes after she revealed just a few weeks ago that she was busy organizing her funeral. Precisely because the disease seemed to leave no hope after she underwent surgery to remove the brain tumor last year. However, the cancer had returned. But now there are finally some positive signs.
“After four treatments we really didn't see any difference and everyone wanted me to change.” But I thought: let's move on and see. After the sixth or seventh treatment we saw the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier. Do I call it a miracle? Yes, for me it is at the moment. I focused on hope and asked to keep going. In fact, the actress' tumor had also metastasized to her brain and bones. That's why now is the time to believe in the possibility of recovery: “I can die today, I can die in 20 years, I don't know.” I can die if I walk outside my house and a tree falls on me falls or a bus hits me, whatever. Or I can die of cancer. But all I can do is live every day as positively as I can, hoping that I can, and embracing it and thinking, “Wow, I'm going to wake up again today, what can I do?”
