In June, Doherty shared thatthe cancer had spread to her brainand posted a video onInstagramof her undergoing radiation therapy. She had a tumor removed from her head after a CT scan determined that the cancer cells spread from their original site to the brain.
“I have a fight for my life, that I deal with every day,” Doherty said on Sunday. “I think I am really great.”
Doherty joked about something else she thinks she’s great at. “My other profession is getting engaged, married and divorced, and I’m doing that very well,” said the star, who split in April from her thirdhusband, photographer Kurt Iswarienkoafter 11 years of marriage.
Next up, Doherty — best known for starring as Brenda Walsh onBeverly Hills, 90210andPrue Halliwell onCharmed—will launch a podcast in November.
“It’s going to be calledLet’s Be Clear,and it’s a live interactive memoir,” Doherty shared on Sunday. “So you get to hear everything that I’ve refused to say before. I’m spilling the tea, but nicely!”
She also talked up 50-year-old Green’s podcast,Old-ish. “It’s amazing,” Doherty said. “So make sure you’re listening to it. Thank you for your love.”
Doherty has been open about her cancer journey for years. She wasfirst diagnosed with breast cancerin 2015, which wentinto remissionin 2017. She then announced in 2020 that hercancer had returned.
“Our life doesn’t end the minute we get that diagnosis," she toldGood Morning Americain February 2020. “We still have some living to do.”
In June, Doherty offered another update about the surgery she underwent in January.“January 12, the first round of radiation took place,” Doherty explained, alongside anInstagram videoof her receiving radiation therapy. “My fear is obvious. I am extremely claustrophobic, and there was a lot going on in my life.”
Doherty admitted shefelt scared before the surgery. “The fear was overwhelming to me. Scared of all possible bad outcomes, worried about leaving my mom and how that would impact her,” she said on Instagram. “Worried that I would come out of surgery not me anymore. This is what cancer can look like.”
In August, as she continued undergoing treatment forbreast cancer, Doherty was photographed vacationing on Italy’s Amalfi Coast in the fishing village of Nerano, diningal fresco with friends.
