Shannen Doherty Shaves Head in Cancer Fight
Shannen Doherty took to Instagram Tuesday night to share the step-by-step process of cutting off her hair and shaving her head as she battles breast cancer.
Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2015 after legal documents were leaked, revealing that she was suing her former management company for not paying her insurance premiums.
She preceded the series with a shot of hair clippers, a cupcake pan and a box of chocolates. “Thankfully, if we aggressively can treat it, we can save Shannen’s life, and her doctors are superb and they’re all over that decision”. “They’re just breasts”, she said. The first picture showed her embracing her mother, Rosa Elizabeth Doherty, with the final snap displaying a new mohawk, as she conducted the haircutting in front of the mirror herself. “I am continuing to eat right, exercise and stay very positive about my life”, she continued.
And now she has shared the candid moment she shaved her head, allowing her 252,000 Instagram followers to be a part of her journey. Thank you for blindly trusing me today to help you with such a big step.
She elaborated on that treatment during a February 2016 episode of Dr. Oz, saying that she planned to have one of two surgery options, including a mastectomy if that’s what her doctors ordered.
“I couldn’t be prouder of you today”.
“Still as lovely as when I watched you on 90210. It’s one of those times you get to test your mettle as a married couple”, said Iswarienko.
Shannen admitted that her having cancer has affected her career.
