Shannen Doherty’s Dr. Says Treatment Turned ‘Difficult’ in Her Final Weeks


Shannen Doherty’s oncologist Dr. Lawrence D. Piro said the actress continued to fight until her death

“Things turned much more difficult in the last couple of weeks, and that’s when it became clear that it was heading in a different direction,” oncologist Dr. Lawrence D. Piro said in an interview with People published on Monday, July 15. Amanda Edwards/WireImageWhile many will remember Doherty for her various roles on the big and small screen — including Prue Halliwell on Charmed and Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210 — Piro believes his friend’s legacy will be one of treating others with kindness. Before Doherty’s death, the actress signed on as a cohost for iHeartRadio’s “The House of Halliwell: A Charmed Rewatch Podcast” alongside former costars Holly Marie Combs, Drew Fuller and Brian Krause.
