Shannen Doherty Shares Her Experience of Letting Go of Possessions During Cancer Battle
Shannen Doherty is contemplating the future.
Despite her ongoing battle with stage 4 cancer, the star of Beverly Hills, 90210 recently discussed her decision to sell a property in Tennessee to “make things clean just in case.”
“I guess it’s the cancer, for me, that has really made me take stock of my life and shift my priorities,” Shannen shared on the April 1 episode of her podcast Let’s Be Clear. “And my priority, at the moment, is my mom. I know it’s going to be hard on her if I pass away before her.”
She added, “Because it’s gonna be so hard on her, I want other things to be a lot easier—meaning that I don’t want her to have a bunch of stuff to deal with.”
Shannen then recounted the “really emotional” process of clearing out the property.
“I was packing up, and I started crying because, again, I felt like I was giving up on a dream and what did that mean for me?” the Charmed alum—who revealed in 2020 that she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer after battling breast cancer—continued while tearing up. “Did it mean I was giving up on life? Did it mean that I was throwing in the towel?”
