Jason Priestley Reveals He is Heartbroken Over Shannen Doherty's Cancer Diagnosis

Jason Priestley is heartbroken after he heard the news Shannen Doherty has a stage four breast cancer.

A couple of days earlier, we found 'Beverly Hills, 90210' actress Shannen Doherty has stage four breast cancer. It was apparent, the news was shocking for us, but it seems, even the co-stars were unaware of the fact to date.

When Shannen revealed herself about the disease, one of her former co-stars, Jason Priestley, tried to reach the actress during her hard times as he was heartbroken himself when he heard the news.

So, Priestley revealing he is heartbroken after the news broke (that Kurt Iswarienko's wife, Shannen Doherty has a stage four cancer,) is all, in fact, understandable.
