Princess Kate: Cancer patient Shannen Doherty criticizes curiosity and protects her. Doherty announced in 2015 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Since then, she has been fighting the disease - explicitly publicly in order to encourage other sufferers. Kate, 42, made a public statement in a video message on Friday evening after weeks of speculation about her health. She had abdominal surgery in mid-January and has not appeared in public since. On the advice of her medical team, she is receiving chemotherapy as a precaution.
