Shannen Doherty has recently provided an update on her health journey during an episode of her podcast. The renowned actress, known for her role in “Charmed,” has been battling stage 4 breast cancer since 2019. In the April 1 episode of “Let’s Be Clear,” she candidly discussed her preparations for the possibility of death by letting go of many of her material possessions. Doherty has been cleaning out her storage units to make things easier for her family, especially her mother, in the event of her passing. She emphasized that her current priority is her mother and expressed her desire to minimize the burden on her by reducing the amount of belongings she leaves behind. By donating and selling off her extra possessions, particularly furniture, she aims to alleviate the workload her mother would face. Doherty, who is now 52 years old, wants to ensure that her mother doesn’t have to deal with the challenge of managing four storage units filled with furniture. She also mentioned a recent trip to her Tennessee home where she made the difficult decision to let go of her aspirations of fostering horses on the property.
Upon reflection, Doherty shared her emotional journey of packing up and shedding tears as she grappled with the idea of giving up on a dream. She questioned whether this meant giving up on life itself or simply throwing in the towel. Her mother’s reassurance that she didn’t have to let go of the place gave her the strength to continue. However, upon returning to the property and realizing the extensive repairs needed, she found it easier to release it. Doherty acknowledged that while parting ways with something significant can be heartbreaking, it can also bring a sense of peace and tranquility. She emphasized that the challenging work she’s undertaking now will ultimately benefit her loved ones by facilitating a smoother transition. This process prompted her to contemplate the value of material possessions.

Throughout the process, Doherty has come to the realization that the money she makes from selling some of her belongings can be used in more meaningful ways.
“I have the opportunity to create new memories and share experiences with my loved ones,” she expressed. “I can treat my mom to vacations because I have extra spending money available, without having to dip into my savings that will secure the future of everyone in my life once I’m gone,” she added.
During a recent episode of her podcast on January 29, Doherty mentioned that she was responding positively to a new type of cancer treatment, referring to the results as a “miracle,” although she did not disclose the specific medication she was undergoing.
“After undergoing four treatments without much improvement, everyone suggested I switch, but I decided to persist and see how it goes,” Doherty shared during her conversation with her radiation oncologist, Dr. Amin Mirhadi.
Following the sixth or seventh treatment, significant progress was observed in breaking down the blood-brain barrier. Describing it as a miracle, the actor expressed, “It feels like a miracle to me at this moment. It was like I took a chance and decided to continue.” In 2023, Doherty disclosed that her cancer had metastasized to her brain and bones. Typically, even potent chemotherapy struggles to breach the blood-brain barrier and target brain tumors, as stated by Northwestern Medicine.
Referring to the new treatment’s effectiveness, she mentioned, “It’s like a miracle, maybe God intervened and decided to give me a break.” Doherty emphasized the importance of recognizing miracles that may be right in front of us, rather than searching in the wrong places.
Senior Woman Spends Her Life Savings on Granddaughter’s Wedding, Gets Excluded Just Before the Event

Agnes funded her granddaughter Clara’s wedding, but at the last minute, Clara removed her from the guest list. What unfolded next was a lesson in karma. Agnes sat alone in her living room, tears streaming down her face after hearing the news.
Despite her wish to attend Clara’s wedding, she had stated that she wouldn’t be going, a decision she now deeply regretted. At 75, after losing her beloved husband Edward, Agnes’s health began to decline. She moved to New York to live with her son, Timothy, and his wife, Linda. Initially caring, their attitude changed when Agnes was diagnosed with dementia.
Timothy and Linda often argued about whether to place Agnes in a nursing home and how to manage her care. Despite the pain of their arguments, Agnes stayed, hoping to support Clara, whom she adored. All she wanted was to see her granddaughter married. So, she used her savings, which she had set aside for Clara’s future, to pay for the wedding.
Although Timothy hesitated at first, he eventually agreed to accept the money, partly due to Linda’s eagerness to benefit from Agnes’s generosity. Clara, however, felt differently. She openly expressed her disdain for Agnes, claiming that her grandmother’s dementia would ruin her wedding. Despite her parents’ pleas to treat Agnes with respect, Clara removed her from the guest list just two weeks before the big day.
Agnes was heartbroken when she overheard Clara’s decision. It affected her health further, leading Timothy to take her to the doctor, where they received troubling news about her condition. Linda and Clara then suggested moving Agnes to a nursing home to avoid complicating the wedding plans.
Resigned, Agnes announced she wouldn’t attend the wedding and asked Timothy to follow Linda’s suggestion. Although he hesitated, Agnes begged him to consider her feelings and eventually convinced him.
On the day she was to move, Agnes sat in a corner, remembering happier times with Clara. She longed to see her granddaughter in a wedding dress, and when the day came, she asked her nurse, Lincy, to get the wedding venue’s address.
Dressed in her best clothes, Agnes arrived at the venue, but the sound of raised voices halted her. She overheard Clara arguing with her fiancé, Josh, who was upset about Clara’s treatment of Agnes. He couldn’t understand why Clara would exclude her grandmother from such an important day.
When Josh threatened to cancel the wedding, Agnes burst in, pleading for him not to go through with it. Clara was shocked to see her grandmother and lashed out, but Agnes just wanted to see her happy. Despite her attempts to make amends, Clara’s anger led to Josh walking out.
As chaos erupted, guests began to leave, and Agnes felt overwhelmed. Instead of succumbing to sadness, she decided to make the best of the situation. She called Lincy to bring the residents from her nursing home to the venue, turning the somber atmosphere into a lively party.
While Clara and Linda glared at her, Agnes reveled in the joy around her. She realized that she deserved to enjoy life too. As she sipped her wine, she reflected on how important it was to prioritize her happiness, regardless of others’ opinions. In the end, Clara learned a hard lesson about kindness and respect, while Agnes discovered that joy could still be found, even in the midst of heartbreak.
