Brian Austin Green has shared a touching update about his co-star Shannen Doherty’s battle with terminal cancer

Doherty, 52, conveyed the terrible news that her stage four cancer had spread to her brain in June of this year.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, but two years later, after treatment, she claimed she was in remission.

Unfortunately, she disclosed in 2020 that she had been diagnosed with stage four cancer.

“It’s going to come out in a matter of days or a week that I’m stage four,” the actor told Good Morning America at the time. So my cancer returned, which is why I’m here.”

Doherty stated that she had kept the news private for a year, adding, “I don’t think I’ve processed it. In many respects, it’s a difficult pill to swallow.”

Doherty first kept her illness to herself while continuing to work on the BH90210 revival, but one of the few people she confided in was her co-star Green.

“I had moments of great anxiety where I thought, ‘I can’t really do this,’ and Brian was the one person—of that group of people who knew—who I told pretty quickly and said, ‘Here, this is what I’m dealing with, she explained.

“So, before every shoot, he would call me and say, ‘Listen, you know, whatever happens, I have your back.’ He’d look at me and say, ‘We got this, child. So Brian was quite helpful.”

Green provided an update on his pal in a recent interview with the Herald Sun.

“We talk all the time,” he told the newspaper. She is a really difficult person. If there is anyone who can put up a true battle against cancer, she is one of them.

“It’s not an easy situation, obviously, but I adore her.”

“And she’s making the best of a bad situation.”

Doherty has been extraordinarily open with her followers about her treatment, and in a heartbreaking post in June this year, she uploaded footage of her first radiation session while crying.

“On January 5th, my CT scan revealed metastases in my brain,” she stated in the video. Yesterday’s video showed the process of getting fitted for the mask that you wear during brain radiation.

“The first round of radiation was administered. My terror is palpable. I’m a claustrophobic person with a lot going on in my life.

“I am fortunate to have great doctors like Dr. Amin Mirahdi and the amazing Cedar Sinai staff. But that anxiety, that turbulence, that timing—this is what cancer might look like.”
