Shannen Doherty by no means gave up her dream of turning into a mom.
Simply months earlier than her demise on July 13 from breast most cancers, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum offered extra perception into her motherhood journey—and the way that longtime need affected the way in which she selected to deal with her most cancers.
“Not solely not solely did I need a youngster for myself, however I wished it, , for my husband,” she mentioned of making an attempt to get pregnant with ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko in a January 2024 episode of her podcast Let’s Be Clear. “I wished it for our marriage. I wished him to have that a part of himself fulfilled.”
In the course of the episode, which featured Shannen’s longtime oncologist Dr. Lawrence Piro, she mentioned her resolution to not take tamoxifen—a hormone blocker typically prescribed to deal with or stop breast most cancers—following her remission in 2017.
“I used to be pretty sure it wasn’t going to come back again,” Shannen defined of her most cancers, “as a result of I believed that the explanation why I acquired most cancers was as a result of I did IVF.”
