The actress took to her Let’s Be Clear podcast to discuss a new “infusion” treatment she was trying, saying there were promising signs.
“I’m not gonna say what it is,” she said, not wanting to go into detail about what the treatment involved.
“I’m on a new cancer infusion and after four treatments, we didn’t really see a difference and everybody wanted me to switch, and I just kinda was like, ‘We’re gonna keep going with this and see’.”
Doherty said after the sixth or seventh infusion her team saw the treatment “breaking down the blood brain barrier”.
“Do I call that a miracle? Yeah,” she said.
“For me, that happens to be a miracle right now.
“That I sort of rolled the dice and said, ‘Let’s keep going!’.”
The actress went on to say that she felt as if God was “giving (her) a break”, adding that every day now felt like a “gift”.
“Sometimes you’re looking for miracles in all the wrong places and they’re right in front of your face,” she said.
“Every day is a gift and there are so many new things in the works that I think hope is always there.
“I think it’s so important.
“Listen, I can die today, I can die in 20 years, I don’t know.
“I can die walking outside of my house and a tree falling on me or a bus hitting me, whatever.
“Or I can die of cancer.
“But all I can do is live each day in as much as a positive manner with hope as I can and embrace it and feel like, ‘Wow, I get to wake up again today, what can I do?’.”
Co-star gone
Doherty is undoubtedly feeling life is a “gift” after news emerged that her Beverly Hills 90210 co-star David Gail had died, aged 58.
Gail played the fiancé of Doherty’s character Brenda Walsh on the hit TV drama.
The news was confirmed by his sister Katie Colmenares on January 22.
The official cause of death for the Beverly Hills 90210 actor is yet to be confirmed as officials wait for a toxicology report, according to TMZ.
The publication said that according to law enforcement sources, no foul play is suspected in the tragedy.
“There’s barely been even a day in my life when you were not with me, by my side, always my wingman, always my best friend, ready to face anything and anyone with me,” the actor’s sister wrote on Instagram after his death.
“I will hold you so tight every day in my heart, you gorgeous loving amazing fierce human being.”
