Shannen Doherty Selling Her Belongings After Being Diagnosed With Stage 4 Breast Cancer
Former ‘Beverly Hills, 90210‘ star Shannen Doherty is preparing for death after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. On a recent podcast episode of ‘Let’s Be Clear‘ the 52-year-old actress talked about cleaning out her storage units and homes to make it easier for her mother when she dies.
She said that’s her number one priority right now. She wants to make it easy on her mom.
My priority at the moment is my mom. I know it’s going to be hard on her if I pass away before her. Because it’s going to be so hard on her, I want other things to be a lot easier. I don’t want her to have a bunch of stuff to deal with. I don’t want her to have four storage units filled with furniture.
Doherty also revealed that she’s had to give up on her dream of having a big farm in Tennessee and fostering horses. In fact, she just went to the property and cleaned it out.
So we were in Tennessee and I was packing up one of the places there. It was really hard and really emotional because to a certain extent — I felt like I was giving up on this dream of building this property out, and putting a house for me and a house for my mom and then extending the barn. I wanted to build a sanctuary for horses who were abandoned by their owners because they are too old or broken down. That was one of my dreams.
She started crying as she talked about this. We can only imagine how hard it must be for her. You think you have all this time left and then something evil like cancer comes knocking on your door.
For those who don’t know, Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She went into remission in 2017, but the cancer came back as stage 4 in 2019. Last year, she told her fans that the cancer had spread to her brain and bones.
We wish her all the best.
