Shannen Doherty dies at 53 after breast cancer battle

[@KadeemG61]

She kept on fighting until the end. Goodbye, Shannen Doherty. Every 90210 fan (including myself) misses you dearly. I grew up watching BH 90210.

[@justylex]

Yes❤️. Those of us who were teens/young adults in the late 80’s to mid 90’s feel like a piece of our youth has died with her.

[@nateh3441]

Agreed! I grew up in the 90s as well. Miss 90210.

[@clownman70360]

thank you

[@samsonwong1897]

@@justylex - You're correct. First Luke and now Shannon.

[@jillcatt2135]

I was going to meet her in September at a 90's Con. She had so much hope for living. This is like losing a friend I never got to meet.

[@justylex]

Something that I think people should know is that she always took the time to reply on her instagram account to fans who were sharing with her that they were also battling cancer. She always shared words of strength & love with them, and I found it touching to see.

[@simpleart2540]

you're right.. even at the lowest point of her life, she could still encourage people and gave strength to them.. not everyone can do that. She was a true warrior with a great empathy ❤

[@brandyl2183]

Shannen was a wonderful person.

[@jillcatt2135]

I loved that Shannen did that, spreading hope. She taught me so much about cancer and treatment by following her journey. She was brave to let us in as much as she did.

[@nicolefrances.c]

She made a post recently about what TMZ did… and I comment “oh hell nah we ride at dawn” and she commented on that. YEARS ago.. 2012, I sent her a tweet and said I’ll die if I don’t get a tweet from Shannen, everyone knows I love hollywoods “bad girl” and she replied “no dying my dear!” I wasn’t battling cancer, but she did reply to me. And that literally means everything to me. My heart is so broken over this.

I’m so heartbroken she fought so hard to stay alive 😢

[@karenswank3165]

I'm an 8 year survivor of breast cancer. Hold my breath every year when that annual mammogram is scheduled! Kudos to Shannon for her tenacity and struggle. R.I.P. dear girl ❤❤❤

[@flowerlady-e5u]

Yes I hold my breath too while having my yearly mammogram being a survivor also.❤

[@peachyclean93]

My sister tells me anybody I come across you should have your breast removed it will come back three of my aunts and my sister all had aggressive breast cancer they had their breasts removed my stepmom was too late!

[@deed2157]

​@@peachyclean93 It doesn't matter if the breast is removed or not. Susan Sommers didn't have hers removed but her cancer came back

[@Ranchladytmd]

Me too! 3 years out! This breaks me!

[@Ranchladytmd]

@@peachyclean93that’s not true! You need to educate yourself. A lumpectomy with radiation has just as much chance of curing as removal

[@demijour1234]

I got diagnosed in Dec 2015 and started my treatment in 2016. I remember hearing Shannon also had breast cancer and I wrote on IG page. I remember her saying she read everyone one of her messages. I felt like we were battling together. I had so many complications during my treatment and know that fighting cancer is frigging hard. When we were both in remission, it was such happiness. I have lost friends to breast cancer, and I miss them still till this day. Hearing that her cancer came back and iit was stage 4, broke my heart hearing this. Shannon, such a Beautifully Talented Actress, you were a Fighter and Inspiration for others. You will be Forever Remembered for All of This. You are with your loved ones now and Like Perry. Smile Down on All of Us with your Beautiful Smile. Prayers, Love and Hugs to her Family and Friends. 💕💕💕 REST IN PEACE SHANNON 🙏🙏🙏♥♥♥🫂🫂🫂

[@DavidSmith-lp6yt]

Saw her at Steel City Con in April 2024. She was so wonderful. It was her birthday weekend. I gave her a birthday card before our photo op. She gave me a hug and said thank you. She will be missed. Will miss her beautiful smile. Rest In Peace Shannen.

[@JaneDoe-ov1hb]

I watched yt videos of that,wished that I could of been there. I regret that I never had the opportunity of meeting her. Thank you for sharing

[@DavidSmith-lp6yt]

@@JaneDoe-ov1hb I made sure, that I wouldn't miss the opportunity to meet her. I knew she was sick. She autographed my photo that we took together. I'll remember when she looked at it, she said we looked good together.

[@JaneDoe-ov1hb]

Aww,what a nice memory that you'll always cherish. It seems like she was so sweet/friendly

[@petejames1326]

you were so lucky to have been able to meet her, she was my fav TV actress of all time, i was a teen in the mid 1990's loved her in charmed so much, that show kept me going when i was getting bullied in high school, i wanted to be a witch or warlock with powers to defeat my enemies too

[@DavidSmith-lp6yt]

@@petejames1326I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to see her. I've always wanted to meet her. Shannen and I were the same age. I'm 4 months older. I remember her when she first appeared on Little House on the Prairie. She was a cutie. I followed whatever she did. When she gave me a hug, I wanted to cry, but I didn't want her to cry. Our photo together will always be with me. She also autographed the photo.

[@libbysworld7649]

She was one year older than me. She is a testimony to women, to cancer warriors everywhere. She was an incredible talent in so many ways. I'm very sad she is gone.

[@trinaq]

Rest in Peace, Shannen Maria Doherty. Prue was my favourite sister in "Charmed", and I was always Team Brenda for Dylan in 90210. She's reunited in Heaven with Luke Perry now. 😇

[@mindful47]

It just didn't feel like she's gone. When someone is still so active in recent years it's just unbelievable. Charm was one of the dramas that I enjoyed weekly in my local TV (I live in Singapore), thats how we spent our teenage years - being entertained by such great dramas.

[@emmcee476]

I agree completely. I literally gasped when I came across the news yesterday

I loved Shannon on 90210 in 1990, I was starting high school and always loved watching the show. I enjoyed other movies she was in too, liked her acting and always thought she was a genuine person. We'll miss you ! Rest easy ❤

[@JennasMusic76]

I have watched her since her days on Little House and she was, and will always be one of my favorite actresses, I have myself been battling renal cell carcinoma and it has been her strength to get me through each day. Her podcast has been what has helped me so much as this is a very lonely, and depressing battle and the strength this beautiful woman had will live on in her work, and especially in the true fighter she was. I do not know where my life is going to take me, but I know I'm better for having Shan as someone to look up to.. You will be missed forever, soar with the angels and Luke will be there to welcome you with open arms. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@TheTransformationBodySwap01]

Watching her play on charmed was amazing. It won’t be the same without her. RIP

This loss hit so hard that I'm still trying to process it a day later. I miss her SO much already. I grew up watching her,starting on Little House then all the rest of her series & movies! She was such a fierce warrior, strong & courageous which made me admire her even more. My 💔 goes out to her family,friends and fans! She'll live on forever in our 💙's! 😭😰

[@jillcatt2135]

Shannen is the first celebrity I allowed myself to actually feel sad and cry over rather than shove my feelings under a rug. She lived honestly and said what was on her mind. Shannen was a headstrong Aries who never gave up. When I hear she "lost a battle" I can't stand it because Shannen didn't "lose". Her lifecycle sadly came to an end. She taught me and so many others that life is a gift and to not waste time. I'm listening to her podcast and interviews with her and she is really inspiring me to live my best life, opinions of others not mattering.

One thing about Shannen that truly stands out is how wonderful she was with her fans and how much they mattered to her. ❤❤ She was a very rare talent

[@brandyl2183]

Shannen was one of the most open people with sharing her cancer battle publicly. She may have had her bad girl era in the early 90s trying to deal with fame so young. She more than made up for any mistakes she made by spending the last years of her life being an Inspiration and comfort to so many. All of us who grew up watching Shannen will miss her. Say hello to Luke for us Shannen. We love y’all.

[@rocketdude2969]

I got to meet her and she was a beautiful person. She was such a beautiful and brave person. I was so proud of her for fighting cancer and helping others to fight it . An angel has returned to heaven . RIP Shannon 🙏

[@flowerlady-e5u]

She was so brave . Shes in heaven now with the angels❤

[@DebbieJune]

I never thought that I would see a person who fought harder than my Mom to extract every single minute of life out of her existence with cancer beating down on her but Shannen was exactly like that. She fought for every single minute she could extract and she lived longer with it because of her fighting spirit. Most people who are diagnosed terminal at stage 4 usually don’t have much time left but Shannen survived for almost 4 years after that and over a decade in total. I am such a fan the comfort is that like my Mom she is no longer suffering and is at peace. I only wish that we had better treatments but I can hope that they are on the horizon🙏🏻👼🥲

[@katelynhenry6047]

So so sad. She was so strong! I pray her heart & mind is at peace now, though. My thoughts & prayers are with her family!!🙏 I know this feeling all too well. My mom had a seizure this past February. I had to call 911. Once we got her in the ER she was so out of it. It caused permanent damage where she was confused & the left side of her body was extremely weak. They ran tests & within hours we found out she had cancer in her lungs, liver, kidney, spine, & her brain. The huge tumor in her brain caused the seizure & other symptoms as well. A few weeks later after biopsy results came in we found out it was Small Cell Lung Cancer that had already metastasized. Prognosis was absolutely terrible with only 6-12 months to live & that’s with tons of chemo & radiation treatment!! It’s the worst cancer you can get & it’s unfortunately unbeatable & unsurvivable. Most that get SCLC don’t even know they have it at all until it’s too late & they’re gone. my mom was never the same after that for a seizure. She had no idea what was going on. She knew she was sick but didn’t know the details. I took her home where I knew she wanted to be & she was gone within 2 months from when she was diagnosed. Cancer is one of the worst, most insidious diseases on this planet. It has no discrimination. It affects anyone & everyone. R.I.P to my beautiful Momma & to anyone else that has sadly lost their battle to cancer. To those who are still currently fighting, please keep going!!!! You’re so unbelievably strong & DESERVE to be here!!!🫶💜

[@bushmonster1702]

Poor lady. She must have suffered greatly in the last 10 years.

[@Biofeedback1975]

Her production company wouldn’t give her insurance. But my question is to why she did not reach out to all her friends to help pay the medical bill for her to get checked out earlier ?

[@achriscilley3965]

Our loss is Heavens gain. She was someone to me that stayed Shannon, grounded and honestly a person who you would like to have as a friend. It was as if you had known her all your life. People come and go into our lives and with time we sometimes forget them, she however was one that you wouldn't because of her friendliness and kind gentle heart. I in my 63 years on this earth have lost many people, as l know many others have too. With the passing of growth and time l have come to learn that death is a gift that takes away all the hurt and trials and tribulations that life inflicts on us. Shannon thank you so very much for sharing your talent and life with us, more importantly the bravery you showed us is an inspiration to let us realize that we can and will make it to the other side. And our new beginning is a gift from God, that is well worth the good and bad times we went through while our life played out on this planet. God rest your soul and may you rest in peace.

I remember Shannon as a little girl, in elementary school watching 90210. I always thought they were so cool on that show and I liked Shannon. Even through the years with all the tabloid chatter of her so-called "bad girl" image, the press couldn't make me dislike her. This is so sad. She was an Aries and had that fire and passion in her.
