Shannen Doherty Cancer Journey: In a recent episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty,” the ’90s star discussed how fellow actor David Charvet helped her fight cancer. Doherty, who played “Beverly Hills, 90210,” said Charvet helped her find a new doctor after her 2015 breast cancer diagnosis.
Doherty said in the podcast that she felt lost in her cancer experience and needed to change. Charvet, from “Baywatch,” referred her to her present oncologist, Dr. Lawrence Piro, who guest-starred.
Despite the fact that many people are reluctant to switch doctors, Doherty stressed on the importance of lobbying for one. Charvet, Doherty and Chris’s common friend, insisted on introducing her to Dr. Piro, who had treated Charvet’s father’s cancer.
Dr. Piro explained that Charvet invited him to meet Doherty to see if they would make a good team for her cancer treatment. The immediate connection between Doherty and Dr. Piro was evident, and they quickly understood each other’s perspectives.
Doherty praised Dr. Piro for his strong opinions on her treatment, highlighting his lack of intimidation by her personality. She appreciated his assertiveness and willingness to address her care needs immediately. Dr. Piro urged her to come to his clinic promptly for treatment, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful care tailored to her specific situation.
She has openly discussed her cancer story, including chemotherapy, surgery, remission, and recurrence. In June, she reported that the cancer had spread to her brain; in November, she discovered it in her bones. Doherty said the woman will keep living, loving, creating, and improving despite the challenges she faces.
