Shannen Doherty admitted she went through the "hardest time" in her cancer battle during her final weeks before she sadly died at the age of 53 .
The beloved Charmed star died on Saturday following a lengthy battle with cancer . Back in June, Shannen confided in her close friend Katherine Heigl, 45, that her life was becoming increasingly agonizing.
Speaking on her Let's Be Clear podcast , Shannen shared her heartbreaking experience. She said: "I got cancer in 2015, and it went to remission, I think, right at the end of 2017 or at the beginning of 2018, and then it came back in 2019 as stage 4 breast cancer, but then it spread to my bones. And from there, it spread to my brain."

The actress then opened up about the cancer's relentless progression, saying: "There's so many protocols. Eventually it's stage 4 cancer eventually those protocols are gonna stop working. And you just hope that you are on one long enough for them to actually come up with another protocol and another protocol... so it's really hard."
Speaking candidly about her emotional state, she revealed: "This is probably the hardest time for me that I've ever had with the cancer. I've always kinda felt very positive and, like, I can deal with it, and this is definitely like I'm overly emotional."

Shannen continued: "I wanna cry every single second at good or bad [things.]". In a profound reflection, Shannen also spoke about the impact living with cancer had on her outlook: "What's really beautiful about it is, I think you become so incredibly sensitive that your eyes are, like, wide open to everything around ... what your purpose here is.
"Because I think I struggled with that kind of my entire life, being a child actor and then growing up acting, and I just never felt like I was accepted. I always, you know, looked at the Friends crew and was like, 'Oh my god. I wanna hang out with Jen Aniston and Courteney Cox'.
"And, you know, 'Why doesn't anybody accept me, and why am I always called the bad girl?' For me, cancer was that moment where I was like, 'Oh, hell no'. I don't need to hang out with any of these people. I need to make sure I'm happy and living the best life that I can while I'm still alive."
