Shannen Doherty reveals her fears as she goes through one of the most crucial steps in her ongoing battle with breast cancer - her radiation treatment.
The "Beverly Hills 90210" star posted a photo of herself inside a hospital room preparing to receive treatment for breast cancer. "First day of radiation treatment. I look like I'm about to make a run for it which is accurate," she captioned the photo.

"Radiation is frightening to me. Something about not being able to see this laser, see the treatment and having this machine moving around you just scares me. I'm sure I'll get used to it but right now...I hate it. #radiation #radiationmondaysucks #stillfightinglikeagirl," she concluded.
Doherty's radiation treatment is the next step in her breast cancer battle after having already completed a series of chemotherapy sessions, she announced last month, according to The Sun.
"Sometimes it seems like chemo will never end. Sometimes you wonder if you have the courage to face cancer and all that comes with it," she captioned a photo of herself alongside her medical team.

Doherty has been battling since August 2015. This was revealed through court documents wherein she sued her business manager for failing to pay her medical insurance, according to E! Online.
In an emotional and candid interview last month, Doherty opened up about how she and her husband Kurt Iswarienko have been dealing with her diagnosis and treatment. "The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different," she said about herself.
The 45-year-old stressed that cancer is something that is "not pleasant," which can either bring out the best or worst in many relationships. However, she insists that the situation has only strengthen their marriage even further.
