00:00 Shannon Doherty is sharing an update on her heart-wrenching health battle.
00:05 More than five months after the Beverly Hills 90210 star opened up about her cancer metastasizing
00:12 to her brain, the 52-year-old is sharing another development, noting that it has since spread
00:19 to her bones.
00:21 She tells People in an article published on November 29th, "I don't want to die.
00:27 I'm not done with living.
00:29 I'm not done with loving.
00:31 I'm not done with creating.
00:33 I'm not done with hopefully changing things for the better.
00:37 I'm just not.
00:38 I'm not done."
00:41 Shannon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and went into remission two years later,
00:47 but in February of 2020, the actress shared that her cancer returned the year before and
00:53 was categorized as stage 4.
00:56 As Shannon explains, her diagnosis has undoubtedly had an impact on her outlook on life, saying,
01:04 "When you ask yourself, 'Why me?
01:07 Why did I get cancer?' and then, 'Why did my cancer come back?
01:12 Why am I stage 4?' that leads you to look for the bigger purpose in life."
01:18 Earlier this year, Shannon opened up about having to undergo surgery to remove a brain
01:23 tumor, sharing a glimpse at her journey on social media.
01:28 However, Shannon says that she is constantly motivated by her drive to work again, despite
01:34 her battle, and remains faithful, thanks to the support of loved ones.
01:39 "My greatest memory is yet to come.
01:42 I pray, I wake up and go to bed thanking God, praying for the things that matter to me without
01:49 asking for too much.
01:51 It connects me to a higher power and spirituality.
01:55 My faith is my mantra."
01:57 And as Shannon notes, she is cherishing every moment there is, saying, "I know it sounds
02:04 cheesy and crazy, but you're just more aware of everything, and you feel so blessed.
02:11 We're the people who want to work the most because we're just so grateful for every second,
02:17 every hour, every day we get to be here."
02:19 "I'm so grateful for every second.
02:20 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:21 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:22 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:23 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:24 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:25 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:26 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:27 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:28 I'm so grateful for every second.
02:29 I'm so grateful for every second.
