Shannen Doherty shared a photo of her completely shaved head on Monday, July 25, after documenting the process in a series of photos on her Instagram account days earlier. The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum has been battling breast cancer for nearly a year.
In the photo, the 45-year-old actress debuts her mostly bald head and poses with her mom, Rosa Elizabeth Doherty, and two pals. “Thank you to these three who helped me thru an impossibly tough day and continue to be there every minute supporting and loving me,” she wrote. “[My husband] @kurtiswarienko was in Mexico working but knew he left me in good hands. @annemkortright @chriscortazzo #mamarosa I love you. #mycrew #thisisasquad.”
