In April 2017, she joyfully announced that her cancer was in remission, but tragically, it returned in 2019 and advanced to stage 4, spreading beyond its original site.
In a heartbreaking revelation in June 2023, Doherty disclosed that her cancer had metastasized to her brain and is now terminal.
Despite these daunting challenges, Doherty has found unwavering support in her close friend, Brian Austin Green. He has been a pillar of strength for her throughout her cancer battle, offering a listening ear and understanding heart. In a candid interview, Doherty spoke about confiding in Green regarding her fears and finding comfort in his empathy.

He remarked on the harsh realities of living with such an illness while highlighting how adversity can fortify a person. Green praised Doherty as a courageous individual deserving of the support and friendship she receives.
Green and Doherty’s friendship dates back to their days on “90210,” where they played David Silver and Brenda Walsh. Their bond has endured through the years, even after Doherty’s departure from the show due to reported on-set conflicts.
In a recent interview, Green provided an update on Doherty’s current condition, commending her resilience and strength in her ongoing cancer battle. He emphasized her toughness and expressed his belief in her fighting spirit, while also recognizing the formidable nature of her situation.
Green also opened up about his own health struggles. He shared that he had experienced vertigo and ulcerative colitis, which escalated to neurological issues impacting his ability to speak, walk, read, and write. This forced him to take a four-year hiatus from work. Although he never received a formal diagnosis, Green remains hopeful about returning to a sense of normalcy.
Despite the hardships they both endure, Brian Austin Green and Shannen Doherty continue to inspire with their resilience and friendship. Their bond, forged on the set of “90210,” remains unbreakable as they support each other through life’s challenges.
