Shannen Doherty’s got support.

Former cast members of the sitcom Charmed Brian Krause and Drew Fuller are expressing appreciation and support for their co-star.

Exclusive updates on Shannen Doherty's health and well-being were provided by the actors. Shannen, who received her initial breast cancer diagnosis in 2015 and then in remission, announced in February 2020 that her cancer had come back. She is the epitome of strength in Brian and Drew's eyes.

"She's amazing. She's a f--king warrior," Drew told E! News at That's 4 Entertainment 90s Con 2023, which was held March 17 through March 19.

"She is so cool and calm and powerful. I'm in awe of her strength, and I'm constantly inspired by her."

Brian stated the same thing at the time, saying she taught him to "keep throwing punches."

"I think she's underestimating how strong she is and strong-willed and determined," he added. "She's an inspiration, for sure."

Shannen Doherty spreads awareness  for Cancer

Shannen has kept up her employment in the entertainment sector after being diagnosed with cancer. 

Additionally, she has used her platform to raise awareness of the realities of her cancer battle.

"I feel like I have a responsibility in my more public life, which I separate from my acting life, to talk about cancer and perhaps educate people more and let people know that people with stage 4 are very much alive and very active," she said in 2021 during a panel for her film List of a Lifetime.

"My husband [Kurt Iswarienko] says that you would never know that I have cancer. I never really complain. I don't really talk about it. It's part of life at this point."
