Shannen Doherty (52) remains full of hope. The actress was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. Although she was able to fight it, the illness returned five years ago. Since then she has had to undergo various treatments again and again. Just a few days ago, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress emphasized that she still wanted to start the new year positively. Because Shannen is optimistic that her illness can eventually be cured.
In her podcast “Let’s Be Clear”, the 52-year-old says that she is sure that it would only take three to five years until cancer can be better treated and she can live longer. “There will be many more options that will allow for another five years. In these five years there will be completely different options and ultimately this disease will be curable,” suspects Shannen.
Your talk guest Dr. Lawrence Piro compares this perspective of always waiting for new treatments to a horse race: “I always say that it’s important to look at every therapy as a horse. In a horse race, you want to ride each horse for as long as you can then you ride the next horse as long as possible.” Shannen She then explains that she will ride until she gets new horses, that is, she will do one treatment until she has access to the next and better one.
