Go Shannen Doherty, go!
As you may already be aware, the Beverly Hills: 90210 alum announced in early February her breast cancer had returned almost three years after announcing she was in remission.
Though she had been privately living with the stage four diagnosis for almost a year, and even filmed the series reboot BH90210 with her co-stars, she is now ready to be open about “embracing every day” of her life.

On Saturday, the 48-year-old shared a series of photos to her Instagram account, and opened up about how she has been taking care of herself:
“After a year of dealing with cancer coming back and other stresses, I’m back at it. Taking care of myself and embracing every day. It’s not always easy. I have days I’m depressed or just plain lazy.”
Luckily, she has a great support system in place who keep her motivated and accountable. The Brenda Walsh portrayer gave a shoutout to three of her close friends: model Anne Marie Kortright, fitness instructor Kira Stokes, and chef Oren Zroya, for sticking by her side:
“But I push thru with the help of friends. @annemkortright has been relentless in getting me to hike and learning new ways to cook that feed my soul as well as my tummy but in a very healthy way. She along with @cheforen @maliburadkitchen have made cooking healthy fun and sustainable. If that wasn’t enough…. Annemarie brought in @kirastokesfit to kick my butt yesterday! It’s been a productive great week. I feel better. My skin is alive and so am I.”
We’re so glad!

On February 11, days after telling her story on Good Morning America, she expressed her gratitude via social media to her fanbase for their continued support:
“I want to thank all of you for your love, prayers and support. It’s an odd time right now and I find my feet not completely underneath me. To say I have stress is an understatement. To say that I’m struggling is mild. But… I believe that I will find my footing. I’ll dig deep for the inner strength I need to face it all. I pray I do it all with dignity and grace. I have so much to say. So much to share. I will. For now… please know how much you all help lift me.”
We’re all here to support you, Shannen!
