Shannen Doherty made her first red carpet appearance since finishing chemo, and she was glowing

Throughout her battle with breast cancer, Shannen Doherty has truly been a pillar of strength; often posting inspiring messages and photos on Instagram right after a chemotherapy session, or even dancing at the gym just hours after treatment.

So it’s no surprise that Doherty hit the red carpet after finishing chemotherapy, and we couldn’t be happier for how far she’s come.

Not only did she step out on the red carpet looking absolutely beautiful, but she took on the role of hosting the Animal Hope & Wellness Foundation’s gala event. And as always, Doherty maintained her unwavering positivity when talking about her journey with cancer. “I feel great. I mean, I feel good, I’m super-positive, I’m happy with where I’m at right now. Cancer, for me, as hard as it is, has been a blessing. It has changed who I am as a human being forever. It’s altered my life in ways I can’t even speak of,” she told Us Weekly.

Her speech was equally fierce, and we she even shared what has helped get her through her darkest times.

"Cancer can be isolating and depressing, can be all-consuming. Cancer can overwhelm your life. Seeing animals being rescued touched my heart and they renew my determination to dig deep and continue my own personal fight. I wonder how I would fare faced with such death and cruelty. … [Animals] encouraged me to face adversity with the same strength and grace that they display in the face of destruction."
