Actor Jason Priestley (51, "Private Eyes") gave in a video interview with "Studio 10" presenter Angela Bishop (53) an update on the fight of his former serial colleague Shannen Doherty (49) against breast cancer. The interview shows the moderator on her Instagram account.
When the presenter asks about Shannen Doherty, Priestley says he contacts her every few months. "She was in a pretty good mood the last time we spoke," said Priestley. "Shannen is a really tough girl. She's a fighter, and she's always been a fighter, and I know she'll keep fighting as hard as she can," he said.
She has been fighting cancer for five years
Shannen Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2015. Two years and many strenuous treatments later, she gave the all-clear. In early February 2020, however, the US star made it public that the cancer had returned.
