Shannon, I’m so terribly sorry you are going thru this with this dreadful disease. I too, had stage 4 breast cancer, mastectomy, chemo, radiation. Ductal Carcinoma. Cancer does not play favorites. Please Please continue to fight. You are stronger than cancer. God will give you the strength just pray without ceasing. Cancer may be a disease but God is the cure.

Take care! I’ve had two brain tumors remove. The big one was the size of my hand and my soul was torn apart. I lost my sight on the right. Second tumor was a peach sized tumor next to my right ear. After removal I lost my hearing. I know the pain and agony you face. I pray that you have a speedy recovery and the family support you need to get thru this ordeal! 🙏 💕

Shannen, my name is Shannon as well & I think we r the same age. I have dark hair too & look similar to u people tell me. I've had cancer removed 4xs now & the surgeries & radiation. I think I've had it the same years as you as well. I'm glad a celebrity is talking about this. I pray for you & wish I could talk to you personally. I just had surgery again last week. Your doing amazing. I like how you've handled this & this will make more women go to preventive doctor appts. You're saving people!!! I'm still working some too. Worst part is trying get help from the govt. & like u said people write u off. It's hard & I have no family hardly left. Thanks for sharing your story. 🙏💗

My hero, Shannon Doherty!!!! Your willingness to share helps others, like me.

Truly brave young lady. Her fight is not only inspiring but it makes you humble when you realize that some of the things we worry or complain about everyday, is actually nothing compared to Shannon’s daily fights. God Bless her.
