Shannen Doherty said this week that undergoing treatment for stage four breast cancer makes dating difficult because she might 'have an expiration date.'
Shannen Doherty says she thinks she might be a 'hard sell' on the dating scene because her cancer diagnosis could be difficult for a potential romantic partner to handle. 'I think it’s hard for somebody like me, in my personal opinion, because it’s hard to go into dating someone when you know that they might have an expiration date,' she told Kelly Ripa on the 'Live' host’s Sirius XM 'Let’s Talk Off Camera' podcast this week.
The 53-year-old explained that on a weekly basis she asks God why certain people get cancer and others do not, even if they have lived unhealthier lifestyles than her. 'What I finally had to wrap my head around in order to accept my stage four diagnosis and everything I go through with it is that it happened to me because of the platform that I have and because I can help others.
However, she said opening up on her podcast 'feels like therapy' to her, adding that it is 'rewarding' to see comments from listeners that talking about her cancer helped them. 'People’s comments bring me to tears,' she revealed to Ripa. Later in the podcast, Doherty said that her exes Rick Salomon and Rob Weiss are two men from her past she can still rely on and who would 'drop everything to help me.
