Shannen Doherty<\/strong> has a heartbreaking update on her battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

The ’90s icon, who was made famous by roles in Beverly Hills, 90210<\/em> and Charmed<\/em>, shared with People<\/em> in an interview published on Wednesday that her cancer has spread to her bones.<\/p>\n

As Perezcious readers know, she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, for which she underwent a double mastectomy in addition to chemo and radiation. Two years later, she was in remission\u2026 But by 2019, the terrifying disease came back. She announced the news nearly a year later on Instagram<\/strong>, heartbreakingly sharing that it was stage 4. Things continued to get worse this last summer, when she revealed the cancer had metastasized to her brain, for which she had to undergo surgery — something she calls \u201cone of the scariest things\u201d she\u2019s ever been through. And now her bones…<\/p>\n

This poor woman.<\/p>\n

But the 52-year-old isn\u2019t giving up, as she powerfully told the outlet:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to die. I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better. I’m just not — I’m not done.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019s still so young. She still has so much life to live. This is so unfair\u2026<\/p>\n

The Mallrats<\/em> star took a moment to reflect on why she\u2019s been dealt such an unforgiving hand:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you ask yourself, \u2018Why me? Why did I get cancer?\u2019 and then \u2018Why did my cancer come back? Why am I stage 4?,\u2019 that leads you to look for the bigger purpose in life.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of her reasons to keep going? To work! The beloved TV star says she\u2019s not ready to throw in the towel just yet:<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople don’t know a lot about cancer. They just sort of assume that it means you can\u2019t walk, you can\u2019t eat, you can\u2019t work. They put you out to pasture at a very early age — \u2018You\u2019re done, you\u2019re retired,\u2019 and we\u2019re not. We\u2019re vibrant, and we have such a different outlook on life. We are people who want to work and embrace life and keep moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has, of course, received a ton of support, but still… It must be hard to navigate all the attention. She added:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy greatest memory is yet to come. I pray. I wake up and go to bed thanking God, praying for the things that matter to me without asking for too much. It connects me to a higher power and spirituality. My faith is my mantra.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still to come from Shannen is her new podcast, Let\u2019s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty<\/em>, sort of a verbal memoir where she will discuss all things career, love, and sickness. It premieres next month. We can’t wait!<\/p>\n

The Heathers<\/em> star star added:<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it sounds cheesy and crazy, but you\u2019re just more aware of everything, and you feel so blessed. We\u2019re the people who want to work the most, because we\u2019re just so grateful for every second, every hour, every day we get to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n
