With Shannen Doherty still continuing her battle with breast cancer, a lot of people believe that she has reached a new emotional climax after telling her husband, Kurt Iswarienko, her deepest fears.

According to ET, their exclusive interview with this famous "Beverly Hills, 90210" star yielded to her narration of how she opened up to her husband, which gave her strength and supported her recovery. This is despite the fact that she revealed that her original breast cancer back in February 2015 has spread to her lymph nodes.

However, even with this, Doherty is still thankful how this crisis has strengthened her marriage with Iswarienko "a thousand  times." As of now, she has done three out of the eight required rounds of chemotherapy, but after this she will still undergo radiation treatment. Despite her single mastectomy surgery back in May, the cancer remains.

In the same interview she reminisced about how she first told her husband about the heartbreaking news, which she remembered as horrible in her part as she delivered it through a phone call while in her car. When she arrived home, however, she said that her husband was waiting for her in the driveway. He gave her an embrace and gave her words of encouragement she needed to get by.

Doherty also states how her mother, Rosa, as well as her closest friends have helped her stay determined. Her mother's strength has given her a lot of encouragement as well, and she constantly looks up things to make her feel better.

Even through all this, Doherty is still hopeful that the treatment she is undergoing right now will help her have a long future ahead after surpassing cancer. In any case, she still finds her current situation humbling, but it also made her appreciate people even more.
