Shannen Doherty, 48, revealed this morning that she is battling stage IV cancer, just three years after going into remission. 

In an appearance on Good Morning America, Doherty revealed she has been battling stage 4 cancer for the past year. The announcement comes just three years after doctors declared her cancer-free. 

Doherty was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in 2015 and went into remission two years later.

“It’s going to come out in a matter of days or week that I am Stage 4, my cancer came back and that’s why I am here,” Doherty said on GMA. 

“It’s a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways,” she added “I'm petrified. I'm pretty scared.”

The actress, who is famed for her role as Brenda in 90210, revealed what she dreaded most was telling her mother, Rosa, and her husband, Kurt, about the tragic diagnosis. 

“My mom is a ridiculously strong courageous human being. So is my husband, but I worry about him,” Doherty said.
