Doherty further explained that in her case, all the experiences have meant that she as an actress has been given a sea of different emotions and moods she can dive into and use at work.
– So I think I’m a better actor than ever.

Doherty has in recent years been open about the health situation. Followers on Instagram have received photos from ups and downs.
On Thursday, Doherty shared the photos on Instagram, taken some time ago, to encourage other women to check themselves out.
«Is it beautiful? No. But I hope that by sharing that we all become more enlightened and familiar with what cancer looks like», She writes – and adds that finding humor in all the difficult things, helped her get through what seemed completely impossible.
The American star has continued to work despite the disease. Among other things, she has been seen in the new launch «BH90210» and «Riverdale». On filmnettstedet IMDb she is listed with several upcoming projects, some of which have been recorded.
