In her interview with Nightline, Shannen says that she is keeping busy with two Lifetime movies that are premiering this month, despite her health setbacks.
She said, āI think work was always very fulfilling to me, but in a way, it’s become even more fulfilling. A lot of people who get diagnosed with stage four, they sort of getting written off. It’s assumed that they cannot work or they can’t work at their full capacity. And that is not true. And that is something that I would really like for people to sort of stop assuming, and give us a chance to prove them wrong.ā

The actress added, āYou really have to dig deep to face cancer, and in that you find all the stuff that you had hidden away. And it’s beautiful things that you find. You find the vulnerability, you find your trust in people again, you find forgiveness.ā
