Shannen Doherty, known for her roles in "Charmed" and "90210," shared on her podcast how a minor head injury led to the discovery of her stage 4 breast cancer spreading to her brain. Initially concerned about a potential subdural hematoma, her oncologist Dr. Lawrence Piro ordered a CT scan, which revealed brain metastases. Doherty underwent surgery and brain radiation in January 2023 to address the tumor. Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful about new treatments extending her life and candidly discusses living with terminal cancer, aiming to raise awareness and share her journey with others.
