So my cancer came back&period; And that&&num;8217&semi;s why I&&num;8217&semi;m here&period; &&num;8220&semi;I don&&num;8217&semi;t think I&&num;8217&semi;ve processed it&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Many of you may remember Shannen from the hit shows &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;90210&comma;” and &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Charmed&period;” She was first diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2015&comma; and during her first battle&comma; she was open about documenting her fight on social media&period; However&comma; this time around she decided to keep her second diagnosis private up until now&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&&num;8220&semi;I definitely have days where I say why me&period;

She was also impacted by the passing of her co-star Luke Perry and she wanted to honor his memory&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>She said&comma; &&num;8220&semi;It&&num;8217&semi;s so weird for me to be diagnosed and then somebody who was&comma; you know&comma; seemingly healthy to go first&period; &&num;8220&semi;It was really&comma; like&comma; shocking&period; And the least I could do to honor him was to do that show&period; I still haven&&num;8217&semi;t done it&comma; in my opinion&period; So it&&num;8217&semi;s a hard one&period;&&num;8221&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Shannen continued&comma; &&num;8220&semi;One of the reasons&comma; along with Luke &&num;8212&semi; that I did &&num;8216&semi;90210&&num;8217&semi; and didn&&num;8217&semi;t really tell anybody because I thought&comma; people can look at other people with stage four can work too&period; Like&comma; you know&comma; our life doesn&&num;8217&semi;t end the minute we get that diagnosis&period;
