Shannen Doherty Opens Up About Breast Cancer Battle

Shannen Doherty recently taped a segment for the Dr. Oz show, where she opened up about her battle with breast cancer. She is quoted as follows, as reprinted by People:

"You worry most about the people that you love and making sure that they are going to be okay. For me, that was the hardest part...You have no idea what that extra time might have afforded you. Mine for instance spread to a lymph node or two. It might not have spread ... The most important thing is catching it as early as humanly possible." 

On how cancer has affected her relationship with husband Kurt Iswarienko:
"I'm 44 and my husband and I wanted children (they are now more likely to adopt)...For us, it has brought us closer together. It's one of those times you get to test your mettle as a married couple." said Iswarienko. 

On life now:
"I am continuing to eat right, exercise and stay very positive about my life," she said at the time. "I am thankful to my family, friends and doctors for their support and, of course, my fans who have stood by me."
