Once upon a time, viewers were either rooting for Kelly or Brenda on Beverly Hills, 90210.
These days, we’re all on Team Brenda.
Last week, Shannen Doherty shaved her head in preparation for chemotherapy, sharing it with fans via Instagram.
Today, Doherty shared another photo of herself with husband Kurt Iswarienko, her friend, Anne Marie Kortright and her mother.
“Thank you to these three who helped me thru an impossibly tough day and continue to be there every minute supporting and loving me,” Doherty wrote.
“@kurtiswarienko was in Mexico working but knew he left me in good hands. @annemkortright @chriscortazzo #mamarosa I love you. #mycrew #thisisasquad.”
Doherty confirmed the diagnosis in August 2015 after it was revealed in court documents that she was suing her management company for not paying her insurance premiums. When her health insurance lapsed, she couldn’t receive medical care.
As a result, the cancer went undiagnosed.
The documents, according to People Magazine, stated that Doherty “discovered that she had invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node,” and that it had spread during the period when she was uninsured.
The actress “was also informed that, had she been insured and able to visit her doctor, the cancer could potentially have been stopped, thus obviating the need for future treatment (including mastectomy and chemotherapy) that [Doherty] will likely have to suffer through now.”
Kortright, who was there to help Doherty remove her hair, brought over the razor, a cupcake pan and chocolates, posted her own Instagram in support of her friend.
“Thank you for blindly trusting me today to help you with such a big step,” she wrote.
“I will forever be there for you no matter what.”
Other than the Instagram and an appearance on Dr. Oz earlier this year, Doherty has not given fans an update on the status of her health.
