Shannen Doherty pays touching tribute to mom amid breast cancer battle

"Charmed" alum Shannen Doherty recently paid tribute to her mom during one of the most difficult times in her life.

Just recently, the actress was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has also recently undergone chemo. A few weeks ago, the actress shared some photos chronicling every step of her decision to shave her long black hair.

But more recently, Doherty's post captivated the attention and hearts of her fans because it featured the actress being cuddled by her mother.

"Sometimes there's nothing like a mother's love to help get you thru. Thank you mom for always being there and being so strong for me. I love you. #mamarosa #cancersucks #fightlikeagirl," she captioned the black-and-white photo.

Meanwhile, Doherty underwent chemo earlier this week. After the procedure, the actress shared that she just wants to rest on her bed and let the day pass.

"Chemo day. A day many of us dread. Strength gets us thru but every once in a while, you just want to hide in bed and let chemo day pass you by. #currentmood #currentsituation #chemoday #fightlikeagirl," she wrote.

The actress also posted a selfie while sitting on her bed. She quoted prose author R.M. Drake in her lengthy photo caption. "She was fierce, she was strong, she wasn't simple. She was crazy and sometimes she barely slept. She always had something to say. She had flaws and that was ok. And when she was down, she got right back up. She was a beast in her own way, but one idea described her best. She was unstoppable and she took anything she wanted with a smile."

Through her ordeal, Doherty's husband, family and friends are all standing by her and helping her get through it.
