Shannen Doherty's cancer has spread: 'I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to die'
Shannen Doherty revealed this summer that her stage 4 breast cancer had metastasized to her brain.
The beloved actress is now sharing that the cancer has infiltrated her bones.
"I am a very spiritual person, so when I have done what I am here for, on this earth for, then that'll be fine," she told People magazine of eventually passing. "But I'm not anywhere near that."
'90210' STAR SHANNEN DOHERTY REVEALS SHE'S FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE IN EMOTIONAL SPEECH
Doherty was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. At the time, it had spread to her lymph nodes. By 2017, she was in remission, only for her cancer to return in 2020.
The "Charmed" star has been transparent with her struggles surrounding the disease, opting to share her treatments as well as her fears. "I'm not afraid of death," she explained to the magazine. "I know where I'm going. I know… the people that I'm gonna see. I think I would be afraid of death if I wasn't a good person. But I am," she said resoundingly.

"I don’t want to die, that's the difference. I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to die. Like ever," she said with a laugh, joking she'd appreciate the aging process to halt. "I'm not done with life. I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with… hopefully changing things for the better," she said. "I’m just not – I’m not done."
"My greatest memory is yet to come," she added.

Doherty continues to feel empowered to speak about the grim disease. "I think that my life up until this moment was all getting me ready for what God has me here to accomplish. And I think that's to reach people who have cancer that are impacted by it in such a profound way to help bring awareness, to help raise money," she admitted. "It's insane to me that cancer's been around this long and we still don't have a cure… I do it because I have a platform and I have a responsibility not only to myself but to my fellow cancer family."
The "Beverly Hills, 90210" actress was also quick to squash what she believes to be misconceived notions of cancer patients. "People don't know a lot about cancer," she said, suggesting that the perception is "you can't walk, you can’t eat, you can't work."
"People put you out to pasture at a very early age. You're like done. You're retired. And we're not," she emphasized. "We have such a different outlook on life. We're just so grateful for every second, every hour, every day that we get to be here."

Cher gets brutally honest about aging: ‘I’ve lived too long’
Believe it or not, Cher is having a difficult time with aging.
Although the mega pop star can’t turn back time, she’s not keen on the idea of being 77.
During a recent interview, Cher was questioned about her age.
CHER CONFESSES SHE DOESN'T LIKE HER OWN VOICE: 'DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A WOMAN'
"So you and age, you’re not friends?" a "Today" correspondent asked her.
"No. My mother didn’t mind. But I do. I hate it," she replied, as she referred to her mother, Georgia Holt, who died in December 2022 at the age of 96. "I’d give anything to be 70 again."
Cher additionally had trouble accepting that it’s been 25 years since her hit song "Believe" was released.
"It’s not that amazing, OK? P----- me – it p----- the f--- out of me. And you can’t put that out," she laughed.
While "Believe" was released in 1998 and hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks, Cher reflected on her six-decades-long career as she’s currently in the process of writing a memoir.
"It’s very difficult because I’ve lived too long and I’ve done too many things," she added. "And so it would have to be like, an encyclopedia, truthfully."
The Grammy Award-winning singer’s comments come on the heels of the release of her new Christmas album.
"Christmas" is Cher’s 27th studio album and her first project with original material in 10 years.
Celebrity friends, including Cyndi Lauper, Stevie Wonder and Darlene Love, will be featured on the holiday album.
Cher previously compared her newest album to other projects.
"I've made so many albums, and some of the ones I thought were as good as I could, like an album of mine, weren’t hits. And then other ones that I was not that excited about [were]," Cher told Paper Magazine.
CHER, 77, SHARES HER SECRETS TO STAYING YOUTHFUL
"So, I like this album. I’m not a Cher fan, but I like doing it."
The "Goddess of Pop" recently admitted she didn’t like the sound of her own voice.

She candidly spoke out about her unique sound and called her voice "weird."
"I just never liked my voice that much. If I had my choice, I probably would have another one, but I didn’t get my choice. I got my mother’s voice," she added.

"It's weird. It doesn't sound like a man, it doesn't sound like a woman. I'm somewhere more in between. I have this strange style."

'A Christmas Carol' has been remade many times since 1843, see these versions of Charles Dickens' story
"A Christmas Carol" started off as a novella by Charles Dickens. Dickens was the creator of the classic story that included one of the most popular Christmas characters, Ebenezer Scrooge. Many actors have played the wealthy, greedy and grumpy old man in adaptations of the original story.
The original book was published in 1843. Shortly after, the story found a home on the stage and later in a number of films. The film adaptations of "A Christmas Carol" have all put a unique twist on the original story, while keeping classic elements the same. The basis of the story follows an elderly man (Scrooge) unknowingly in need of guidance.
He is visited by his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, who shares that Scrooge will be visited by three Christmas spirits — past, present and yet to come — who end up enlightening the bitter Scrooge. This plot has stuck around for well over a century, with the newest versions coming out in 2022.
Below is a list of 11 film versions of "A Christmas Carol" that have been released over the years.
TOP CHRISTMAS MOVIES IN EVERY STATE IN AMERICA
The 1938 version of "A Christmas Carol" was one of the first movies to hit the big screen. It stars Reginald Owen as Scrooge and Gene Lockhart as Bob Cratchit.
This version is considered a family-friendly remake of the classic tale and mainly follows the plot line of Dickens' book.
In the 1951 rendition, it is actor Alastair Sim who is visited by three Christmas spirits in the film. This movie includes classic characters introduced in the book, like Bob Cratchit, Mrs. Emily Cratchit, Jacob Marley and, of course, Scrooge.
This version is widely considered the best of all the versions.
BEST CHRISTMAS-THEMED TV EPISODES FROM ‘FRIENDS’ TO ‘THE OFFICE’
This musical adaptation of the story features Albert Finney as Scrooge.
The film earned many accolades, including four Oscar nominations, including an award for the popular song, "Thank You Very Much."
This version of "A Christmas Carol" aired on CBS in 1984 with George C. Scott as Scrooge. Scott was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for the leading role in this television special.
6 CHRISTMAS MOVIES TO STREAM THIS SEASON
"Scrooged" is considered one of the most comedic of all the "Christmas Carol" adaptations. Bill Murray is the star of the movie directed by Richard Donner.
In this movie, Murray plays Frank Cross, a television executive who is a representative of the Scrooge character. Even though the characters differ, Cross is still visited by three Christmas spirits as in the original story.
While this isn't a feature film, the animated short of the story is still considered a widely loved rendition. In just 26 minutes, the classic story is told, using Disney characters everyone knows and loves.
In this short, Scrooge McDuck, uncle to Donald Duck, plays Scrooge, with Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit and Goofy as the ghost of Jacob Marley.
"Mickey's Christmas Carol" isn't the only Christmas movie starring the mouse. There's also "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas" released in 1999. This movie features three mini-stories starring the Disney characters. The sequel, "Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas" features five animated shorts.
"The Muppet Christmas Carol" is a fan favorite when it comes to versions of the film. This movie stars Michael Caine as a moody Scrooge, a perfect contrast to the upbeat lovable Muppet characters he is surrounded by throughout the film.
All the Muppets play different characters, all vital to the story. The Great Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat narrate the story, with Kermit playing Bob Cratchit, Robin the Frog as Tiny Tim and Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit.
THE BEST AND MOST POPULAR CHRISTMAS MOVIES TO KEEP ON ALL WEEK BEFORE THE HOLIDAY COMMENCES
In 1999, a new version of "A Christmas Carol" aired on TNT starring Patrick Stewart as Scrooge.
Stewart was familiar with Scrooge and other characters from the Christmas classic before appearing in this movie. Prior to playing Scrooge in the film, Stewart was the star of "A Christmas Carol" one-man show on Broadway and in London.
Jim Carrey followed a similar approach to Tom Hanks in "The Polar Express" for "A Christmas Carol" in 2009. In the 2004 Christmas classic, Hanks voiced multiple characters in the movie, and Carrey did the same in "A Christmas Carol."
5 HOLIDAY DECORATING MISTAKES THAT COULD REDUCE YOUR CHEER THIS YEAR
In "A Christmas Carol," Carrey makes up most of the main cast, voicing Scrooge at different ages and the three ghosts he is visited by.
Carrey isn't the only actor who took on various roles for this film. Gary Oldman plays Bob Cratchit as well as Jacob Marley and Tiny Tim. Colin Firth is also in the film and plays Scrooge's relative, Fred. This Disney version of the movie is often considered a frightening take on the classic through the "performance capture" technique used to shoot the movie. This technique makes the animation extremely realistic.
This wasn't Carey's first rodeo in the Christmas movie genre. In fact, he played a character who shares many traits with Scrooge in 2000 when he played the Grinch in the live-action remake of Dr. Seuss' story.
This film stars a number of Hollywood A-listers including Matthew McConaughey, Michael Douglas, Jennifer Garner and Emma Stone.
In this modification of "A Christmas Carol," McConaughey, with a likeness to Scrooge, is an addicted-to-work, refuses-to-love celebrity photographer. He dates many women at the start of the film, but runs into his first love later. McConaughey's character is met by ghosts of ex-girlfriends throughout the film as he is guided through the "what-ifs" of his life by his dead uncle, Douglas, who plays the adaptation of Jacob Marley.
This animated movie released by Netflix is one of the newest of the bunch. In this musical version, Luke Evans is the voice of Scrooge with some extra science fiction elements woven into the film.
Will Ferrell spread Christmas cheer once again, but this time not as the lovable Buddy the Elf, but as the ghost of Christmas present in "Spirited." Ryan Reynolds also stars in the film as CEO Clint Briggs.
While the characters differ slightly in this 2022 film, the root of the story stays the same. This movie is a musical version of the story with many comedic elements sprinkled throughout.
