Actress Shannen Doherty appeared on an episode of The Dr. Oz Show on Feb. 18 and opened up about her continuing battle with breast cancer.
Entertainment Tonight noted that Doherty got very emotional when she spoke about having the disease.
“You know, you worry most about the people that you love and about making sure that they’re gonna be ok,” she said. “So for me that was the hardest part.”
As we previously reported, the former Beverly Hills 90210 star revealed her diagnosis last August through a lawsuit in which she blamed the management firm Tanner, Mainstain, Glynn & Johnson, for allegedly allowing her health insurance to lapse. She claimed that the lapse in her medical coverage resulted in her missing a checkup and therefore her cancer went undetected for a period of time.
She explained to Dr. OZ that she is currently weighing her options regarding which treatment she will be seeking for the disease.
“I’m actually going to a center, just to sort of get their general opinion and then I head back to L.A. and instantly go in with my doctors. You know, I’m like ‘You guys make the final decision. What would you do if it was your wife? What would you do if it was your daughter?’”
