Shannen Doherty is hoping to "squeeze out" another few years of life as she continues to battle cancer. Doherty, 52, was "fairly certain" her breast cancer wouldn't return, but now she's holding out hope for a cancer cure after the disease spread to her brain and bones. "You and I always talk about the fact that we just need to squeeze out another three to five years, and then there’s going to be T-cell therapy or there’s going to be this or there's going to be that, whatever it is," the former "90210" actress said on her podcast, "Let's Be Clear," while speaking with her oncologist, Dr.

Lawrence Piro. Doherty said there will eventually be a cure. "There’s going to be a lot more options that will give another five years," she said. "Then, in those five years, there’s a whole other group of options, and eventually there’s going to be a cure." Doherty and Piro then commented on the "horse analogy" that compares battling cancer to horse racing. "I always say that it’s important to think of each therapy as a horse.

And, in a horse race, you want to ride every horse as long as it rides. And then you ride the next horse as much as possible, and you hope you make it a few laps.Then, there’s altogether another new set of horses to ride, to make the race that much longer," he said earlier in the episode.

Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.The actress underwent eight rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatments along with a single mastectomy before entering remission in 2017.
