After announcing earlier this year that her breast cancer is in remission, Shannen Doherty has shared the importance of keeping a positive attitude amidst an ordeal and how cancer brought out a better version of herself.

It was in 2015 when it was revealed that Doherty had breast cancer. However, many fans of the former “Charmed” star felt relieved when she shared in an Instagram post last April that she was on her way to recovery as her breast cancer is already in remission.

Despite the improvement, Doherty knows that the first five years are crucial but this doesn’t stop her from keeping a positive attitude as she patiently waits.

The actress’ positivity is so apparent that it manifests in Doherty’s physical appearance. Recently, Doherty attended the benefit for the Farrah Fawcett Foundation where she rocked a short do, something that she loves most of the time, she claimed. However, more than her physical appearance, Doherty’s positivity was evident in her words when she started talking about the ordeal she went through for almost two years.

“It’s the attitude that you have. I was working out during chemo… because I just knew if I didn’t move and get my body going, that my recovery would be a lot harder… It’s just always important to believe there is a rainbow on the other side and that there are beautiful things that come out of the worst situations possible. I’ve learned so much about myself,” Doherty told Extra TV.

Doherty also went to reveal that cancer has transformed her into a better version of herself. According to the actress, she has become a kinder person since her battle with cancer and allows her new-found kindness to show. Because of this, the actress has been rewarded with new people in her life that she now cherishes.

“I’ve developed friendships that are so valuable to me,” Doherty shared.
