While speaking on her Let’s Be Clear podcast at the end of June, Doherty said that the molecular structure of her cancer cells had recently changed.
The update came after Doherty had revealed her cancer had spread to her bones and brain over the past year.
The Charmed star said there were “a lot more protocols for her to try,” adding that she was feeling “hopeful.”
Doherty said that she was unsure at the time of how long she would need chemotherapy in the coming months, noting how it wasn’t something she or her doctors could predict.

“It’s scary, it’s like, a big wake up call,” she admitted.
Doherty then mentioned the positive aspect of her changed cells, which would allow her to receive more treatment options.
“So, you know, for the first time in a couple of months probably, I feel hopeful because there are so many more protocols now,” she explained.
“Whereas before, I was hopeful, but I was still getting prepared.”
GONE TOO SOON
After initially being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, Doherty lost her years-long battle with the disease on Saturday.
“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” the star’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, told People.
“On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.”
“The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie.
“The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace,” Sloane continued.
