Shannen Doherty Finishes Chemotherapy, Shaves Head
Shannen Doherty has completed chemotherapy treatment.
The 45-year-old took to Instagram to share a video of her hair being shaved off in the wake of her treatment coming to an end.
Doherty has kept fans in the loop about her treatment across her social media accounts.
The brave actress managed to keep the event upbeat and even compared her new look to that of Bart Simpson.
“This day….. laughing thru the tears. Thank you @annemkortright for jumping in and doing what needed to be done. @themamarosa,” she captioned.
Have a look at the video below…
“Oh my God, what have you done?” Doherty asks her friend. ‘Right now I look like Bart Simpson!”
The Charmed star was diagnosed with cancer in February 2015.
Shannen previously shaved her head when she started radiation treatment back in November.
That was around the time she released a video of her doing a very energetic dance routine.
The star was also battling a bitter lawsuit with her management after it emerged that they had not been paying her medical insurance premiums.
This meant the star’s condition went undetected for longer than it should have done because she did not have the appropriate cover.
Her diagnosis was even revealed via the lawsuit, so it’s probably something the iconic star wanted to keep under wraps from the media.
Unfortunately, it did not work out that way thanks to the lawsuit.
We think it’s safe to say that Shannen has had a horrible time over the past two years, but at least she’s making the best of it.
She has been kicking cancer’s butt at every opportunity she can.
What do you think about all of this?

Shannen Doherty Shows Heartbreaking Photos From Chemotherapy
Shannen Doherty continues to share her story with fans, and it comes as no surprise that the reaction has been overwhelmingly supportive.
Doherty’s goal is to show the “faces of cancer,” which she hopes will give hope to others going through something similar.
The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star shared an August 10th chemo session with husband Kurt Iswarienko by her side.
“There are many faces to cancer. This is one of them,” Doherty wrote on Instagram.
Another photo from the same day shows a nurse injecting Doherty with chemo.
“What we call the Red Devil being injected into me via the port thats in my chest,” Doherty wrote.
“Dawn is my nurse who takes excellent care of me August 10, 2016 #cancersucks #fightlikeagirl.”
Doherty was diagnosed in March 2015 after her talent management company failed to pay her health insurance premiums.
This prevented Doherty from getting a check-up, thus allowing the cancer to grow undetected. Doherty sued the company, finally settling last week for an undisclosed amount.
The power of Doherty’s story was no more apparent than when she went to her local Cheesecake Factory to try and eat something (one of chemo’s side effects is nausea).
“Today I was able to get out and attempt to eat and hang with my mom,” she wrote.
“We decided on The Cheesecake Factory because of their vast menu. I figured I could find something to eat that wouldn’t make me sick. Success. I asked for my bill and the above note was placed in front of me instead. No names attached, just the note…”
It gets better.
“They didn’t care about a thank you for picking up my bill,” she continued.
“They simply wanted to do something nice. I convinced the waitress to nod to who did it. Rian and Lloyd…. I wish there were more people like you. Your kindness blew me away today.
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You both deserve a very blessed life.”

Shannen Doherty Opens Up About Horrors of Chemotherapy
Shannen Doherty is facing the biggest challenge of her life.
The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star was diagnosed with breast cancer several months and has been keeping fans apprised of her progress.
Sadly, it isn’t going very well.
Earlier this week, for example, Doherty shared the tragic news that the cancer has spread.
Now, in an Instagram post written on Thursday, Doherty has gone into detail about the horrors of undergoing chemotherapy.
It’s unfortunately a feeling and an experience to which millions can relate.
“Each person’s cancer journey is different. For me, chemo has been terrible and believe me, we have tried almost everything,” the 45-year old wrote alongside a photo of herself in bed alongside her beloved dog Bowie.
She added:
“So days like this have become a bit of the norm. I’m learning that it’s ok to fall into bed and give in to the exhaustion or nausea or aches.”
Thank goodness she has a four-legged friend she can lean on at least.
After thanking her 422,000 followers for their ongoing support throughout this health battle, Doherty gave a mention to her precious pooch for remaining by her side as she battles to beat this illness.
“Btw, it doesn’t hurt to have #msbowie comfort me. So back to my nap,” she wrote.
“Thank you for your prayers, well wishes and stories. They help so much.”
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, Doherty said she thinks her canine was the first to sense that she had cancer.
Dogs really have been known to have this ability.
“She would obsessively sniff right here on my right side for a long time before,” Doherty shared. “So it made sense when I got diagnosed.
The actress discovered she had breast cancer in February 2015.
She shaved her head just a couple weeks ago.
After her eight rounds of chemotherapy are complete, Doherty is planning to start radiation treatments.
It’s difficult, but Doherty is trying to stay positive.
“[My husband and I] were at this Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, and I looked at him and I said, ‘You better enjoy every single second that you have with me … ’cause I’m going to be dead in five years,"” she told ET.
“He burst out crying and was like, ‘You can’t say that."”
“That phase was short, thank God. That was a short, short phase that I think my family and friends got me through.”
We send our love and best wishes to Shannen Doherty.
We can’t fathom what she is going through, but we know other celebrities have beaten cancer.

Selena Gomez Reveals Chemotherapy Treatment for Lupus
Earlier this week, a VERY revealing photo of Justin Bieber naked hit the Internet.
Along somewhat similar lines, meanwhile, the first love of this singer’s life has now revealed something awfully personal about herself in an interview with Billboard.
Selena Gomez says she underwent chemotherapy treatment last year after being diagnosed with Lupus.
“I was diagnosed with lupus, and I’ve been through chemotherapy,” Gomez tells the magazine. “That’s what my break was really about. I could’ve had a stroke.”
In late 2013, Gomez canceled the Australian leg of her tour, saying via statement that, “after many years of putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be.”
Many, of course, assumed Selena was just mending a broken heart as a result of her split from Bieber.
“I wanted so badly to say, ‘You guys have no idea. I’m in chemotherapy. You’re a––holes,"” Gomez says now of those critics.
“I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again.”
So Selena took that time and eventually came out more self-confident and, more important, with a clean bill of health.
She has a new album (out tomorrow) and a new attitude toward her haters. She’s using them as motivation.
“I’m so f-cking nice to everybody, and everyone is so vile to me,” she says.
“I’ve been working since I was 7. I’ve been a UNICEF ambassador since I was 17. It’s so disappointing that I’ve become a tabloid story. That hate motivated me.”
Look for Gomez to go on tour in America and Canada from next May to next July and … and also look out, folks.
You do NOT want to mess with the new Selena Gomez.
