Shannen Doherty Shaves Head as She Battles #BreastCancer and Posts Heartbreaking Photos

Shannen Doherty has gotten her head shaved, almost a year after she revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and has shared with her fans intimate photos of her heartbreaking physical transformation.

The 45-year-old actress, best known for her roles as Brenda on Beverly Hills, 90210 and Prue on Charmed in the '90s, posted six black and white photos of the process, including a pic of her cutting her own hair and a snaps of her mother and friend embracing her.

She had a couple of hours earlier posted a color pic of a cupcake pan, a box of Ferrero Rochero chocolates and a box containing an electric shaver.

"#cancersucks #thankgodforfriends," she wrote.
