Shannen Doherty shops with mother Rosa in Malibu

Shannen Doherty was snapped shopping in Malibu, on Thursday with her mother Rosa Doherty, as she continued her brave public battle with breast cancer.

The 50-year-old actress donned a black hooded sweatshirt with dark sweatpants and sneakers on the daytime outing.She carried a beige tote bag on her shoulder and wore sunglasses and a face mask while out in the luxe beach locale.

Her mother Rosa donned an off-white sweater with light blue jeans and white sneakers, with her red locks down and parted.

Doherty, who portrayed Brenda Walsh on the hit 90s series Beverly Hills, 90210, took to Instagram earlier on Thursday with a selfie with filmmaker James Cullen Bressack, who directed her most recent effort on the screen in the forthcoming film Hot Seat.

'Things I focus on…..

work, family and continuing awareness for cancer,' she wrote. 'The rest is just noise. I'm very lucky and blessed that I worked with @jamescullenb that first time cause that first time has turned into many times. James, I appreciate you as my director and my friend.

Thank you for another great opportunity.'

Bressack also shared the shot, mega2svdqoulext5wgfs3zplqpqau62zuuoxcrljkzyn3zed7inmgeqd.onion reflecting on his fondness amid his collaborations with the Charmed star.

'Thats a wrap on Shannen Doherty @theshando!' he wrote. 'Thats 10 projects together and hopefully a million more.Thank you for always elevating the project but more importantly always elevating me as a filmmaker, and always pushing me to do my best. I appreciate you more than you will ever know.'

He continued: 'You are always my support system on set.Shoots are never as fun without you. The world has yet to see what you are truly capable of as a performer.' 

Doherty underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation after she was first diagnosed with cancer in March 2015, before being declared cancer-free in April of 2017.She said in February 2020 that the stage four cancer had returned.

Doherty, who is wed to photographer Kurt Iswarienko, spoke with  last month about her focus amid the recurrence of her cancer battle.

'You really have to dig deep to face cancer, and in that, you find all this stuff that you had hidden away,' Doherty said.'And it's beautiful things that you find: You find the vulnerability, you find your trust in people again. You find forgiveness.'

In the chat, Doherty said she felt she has 'a responsibility' in her public life 'to talk about cancer and perhaps educate people more and let people know that people with stage four are very much alive and very active.'

Last month Shannen also said her diagnosis is 'part of life at this point' during a virtual panel for her Lifetime movie List of a Lifetime.

She said: '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 four are very much alive and very active.'

'My husband 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.'
