Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty
Shannen Doherty‘s finally catching a break amid her grueling stage 4 cancer battle … revealing there’s been a miracle breakthrough after she took a gamble.
On Monday’s installment of her “Let’s Be Clear” podcast, the actress says her radiation oncologist, Dr. Amin Mirhadi, put her on a new cancer infusion … but when they didn’t see a difference after 4 treatments, her medical team wanted her to try something else — though she asked to stick it out.

Sure enough, Shannen’s body became receptive to the treatment after the sixth and seventh treatments … adding she’s pleased things are finally working in her favor health-wise after rolling the dice.

She explains the drug breaks down the blood-brain barrier … which can prevent chemotherapy drugs from reaching the brain tumor cells to destroy them. In Shannen’s case, anti-cancer drugs are now able to penetrate her tumor cells via the weakened barrier.
Shannen’s continuing with the treatment, saying she believes God’s seen her struggle and is intervening.
