She looked downcast at first but her demeanor changed and she started smiling again as she took selfies in "step 3," "step 4" and "step 5." She also posted a picture of "cupcake pan, chocolates and a razor" with hashtags "#cancersucks #thankgodforfriends."

Doherty's breast cancer diagnosis was first revealed last year in her lawsuit against her former management team. The former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star sued Tanner, Mainstain, Glynn & Johnson, who managed her finances until February 2014.

She sued the firm for mismanaging her money. She blamed them for the delay of her cancer diagnosis, saying a mastectomy and chemotherapy treatment could have been avoided if the firm hadn't failed to pay her medical insurance coverage for the year 2014.

The lapse led to the cancellation of her policy. Only after getting her insurance back in 2015, she started seeing doctors again and found out she had "invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node." According to her doctor, the cancer spread during 2014 when she was uninsured.
