OHMYGOSSIP — Shannen Doherty is “doing better than okay” amid her cancer battle.
The 49-year-old actress was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and revealed in February that it had returned – but Shannen has insisted she’s feeling strong and healthy at the moment.
She said: “I love it when people say, ‘We’re praying for you,’ and everything else, but there comes a point when you’re like, ‘I got this. I’m fine. I’m good’.
“There are a lot of people in the world who could use prayers, and I’m feeling great … I’m doing okay. I’m doing better than okay. I’m doing well. I feel strong and healthy and confident and happy.”
Shannen and her husband, photographer Kurt Iswarienko, organised a dinner to reveal the news of her diagnosis to her close friends.
The ‘BH90210’ star also invited her oncologist to the meeting in order to “squash any doubts that people had”.
Shannen – who has been married to Kurt since 2011 – told Sarah Michelle Gellar on ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I had just gotten diagnosed, and I wanted you … and the closest people in my life to be told … because I’m the type of person, I’d just call you and be like, ‘Listen, I got stage 4. It’s back and I’ll be okay.’ But I knew that particularly someone like you would have more questions.
“So, for me to have Dr. Piro, my oncologist, be there so that he could answer the questions in a very matter-of-fact way, he was able to sort of squash any doubts that people had or to say, ‘Hey, don’t Google, because when you do that you’re going to get some crazy, like, this short of period of time to live,’ and that’s just really not the case.”
