Shannen’s friend, Anne Marie Kortright, was with her during this and posted a message for her on her own social media account: “I couldn’t be prouder of you today. Your strength and courage is so inspiring and I am so very lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for blindly trusting me today to help you with such a big step. I will forever be there for you no matter what.”



Shannen, known for her work in Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed, confirmed in August 2015 that she has breast cancer.

Her announcement followed a report from TMZ that she was suing her business manager, Tanner, Mainstain, Glynn & Johnson, for failing to pay her insurance premiums.

Shannen’s doctors said that her cancer spread in 2014, when she was uninsured. – Rappler.com
