"This is Maggie. I've seen Maggie five days a week for what seems like forever. We have a love hate relationship. I love her because she's part of the life saving treatment I'm receiving. It's astounding how far we have come with technology. One day, Maggie will be retired and the cure will be found. Things like immunotherapy are the future but for now.... it's me and Maggie. I'm seeing her twice tomorrow so that I can wrap this phase up faster. Goodnight sweet Maggie. See ya tomorrow. #cancerslayer"


Giving herself that title after doubling up on her treatments and completing her entire treatment program by the end of the week. Documenting her battle against cancer, Doherty has proven she was never the typical cancer patient, setting a new bar for those suffering from cancer and giving them a positive role model to admire in their own battles. Now, Doherty talks about the great importance of staying active, even when cancer leaves the body feeling completely depleted of e
nergy, and shares what new technologies have been the most useful.
 


Shannen Doherty has documented her life with breast cancer and subsequent treatments on social media, and now she’s showing that cancer hasn’t kept her from breaking it down. In a new Instagram video, the actress shakes, sways, and thrusts her hips while she performs a hip-hop routine as part of a dance class.

Shannen Doherty is hoping her most recent radiation was her last and she will be declared cancer free in order to begin breast reconstruction. Doherty posted on her Twitter account on Wednesday that she was doubling up on her radiation in an effort to finish that course of her breast cancer treatment.
