Actor Shannen Doherty Reveals Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis

It certainly seemed like going into remission would be it for actor Shannen Doherty from being diagnosed with cancer earlier.

However, after 2015 when she went into remission, the actor recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.

"It's going to come out in a matter of days or a week that I have stage 4," she shared. "So my cancer came back and that's why I'm here." (In 2015, she revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.)

Doherty revealed she's privately been battling the disease for more than a year, secretly keeping the diagnosis to herself while filming the reboot BH90210. "I don't think that I've processed it," Doherty, wed to Kurt Iswarienko, said. "It's a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways. I definitely have days where I say, ‘Why me?' And then I go, ‘Well why not me? Who else? Who else beside me deserves this?' None of us do. I would say that my first reaction is always concern about how am I going to tell my mom, my husband."

(In a statement to ABC News, State Farm said, "We empathize with Ms. Doherty's health issues and wish her a full recovery. We strongly believe we have upheld our commitment to our customer and have paid what we owe not his claim.")

Though she is "petrified" of what the future may hold, she hopes her fight—against cancer and State Farm—leaves a lasting legacy. "I want to make an impact," Doherty said "I can that impact through this lawsuit and by saying enough is enough with big business and corporations running the little person over. It's not fair and I'm taking a stand for all of us. I want to be remembered for something bigger than just me."

We wish all the strength for Doherty.
