Shannen Doherty, 50 years old, will recite in a tv movie, List of a Lifetime, dedicated to the story of a woman with breast cancer. A theme that Brenda Walsh’s Beverly Hills 90210 unfortunately knows very well: she too has been fighting against the same disease since 2015. In 2017, the actress was able to announce her remission but in February 2020 she revealed: “My cancer is back, in the fourth stage, and I don’t think I’ve metabolized it yet. It’s a bitter morsel to digest: there are days when I wonder why it happened to me, then I answer: “Why not me? Who else would deserve it?“. None of us deserve cancer “, he added, always with a thought to the family:”How I would have told my husband (photographer Kurt Iswarienko, ed) and my mother?».

Now at the presentation of the new film, the actress has returned to talk about her illness. Explaining that he feels “to have a great responsibility” in his public life: “Talking about cancer, letting others know that a person with stage four cancer is not a person in a gray coat waiting for death on a hospital bed. We are very lively and very active people. My husband always says that no one could imagine that I have cancer. ‘ Her husband, the photographer Kurt Iswarienko, had clarified the same concept on another occasion: “I don’t see a cancer patient when I look at Shannen. I see the same woman I fell in love with. It has a healthy and vital aspect ».

Shannen never gave up. And to help other sick people he never stopped telling his battle also on Instagram: “I take care of myself. And hug every day. It is not always easy. There are days when I’m depressed. Or just plain lazy. But my friends help me not to give up», He wrote on social media a few months ago. “I never really complain. Cancer is now a part of lifeHe added to the presentation of List of a Lifetime. In the film, the protagonist Brenda (Kelly Hu) draws up a “wish list to fulfill”, convinced that she does not have enough time to really make them happen. Today Shannen’s “list” of wishes contains only one: “I want to live”.
