Cancer is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer is not only a serious disease but also a financial burden and mental pain. And for some of the celebrities to fight it so bravely, they deserve an article to be written on, don’t they? Getting further ahead I’ll be discussing stories about celebrities who have/had cancer.
Even for those of us who haven’t had it, Breast cancer feels personal. The first person I’ll be writing about is currently facing this condition.
Shannen Doherty
The Beverly Hills actress who is now 51 was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She bravely posted photos of her emotional head-shaving while undergoing chemotherapy. But in February 2020 it had relapsed as metastatic breast cancer (MBC), which means that it had spread to other parts of the body and was no longer curable. Shannen Doherty opened up about her stage four cancer on ABC’s nightline in February 2020. This clearly was not her first cancer fight, she publicly battled breast cancer in 2015 and announced she was in remission in 2017. She viewed this as an opportunity to prove that she would continue doing work despite the health issues that she was facing. Her bravery and strength in the phase of this cancer battle are already having a huge impact on so many other people. Shannen Doherty is an amazing individual who is fighting cancer. And there are many celebrities like her who are fighting cancer. This brings me to the next celebrity that I’ll be writing about.
