Shannen Doherty has reached out to Michael Bublé following his three-year-old son’s devastating cancer diagnosis.

Upon hearing the news, the former Charmed star, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in February last year, offered support and advice to Michael and his family.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Shannen said: “I can’t even begin to touch that one to be honest, because it’s a three-year-old. I would imagine your child having cancer is devastating as a parent.

“Just trust in your doctors. Make sure you have amazing doctors, a great team and know that organisations like the American Cancer Society, Stand Up to Cancer, they are doing so much good for cancer. And [there is] so much research that we have much better chances now.”

The 45-year-old, who is still undergoing final chemotherapy treatments, added: “Stay positive. That positivity, that outlook on life that you can get through something, it actually does get you through.”

Shannen has been fairly candid about her personal battle with cancer, specifically on social media where she has documented her long battle with the chronic illness.

In a recent Instagram post she highlighted the importance of keeping hope, writing: “Hope is possible. Possibility is possible To my cancer family and everyone suffering… stay courageous. Stay strong. Stay positive.”

While the Beverly Hills 90210 actress maintains a positive attitude, she has admitted that it has been incredibly difficult at times.

Speaking to good friend Chelsea Handler, she said: “I think what’s beautiful and hard and interesting about cancer is that it tears you down and builds you, and tears you down and builds you.

“It remakes you so many different times. The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different.

“I realise: ‘Wow, I really thought that I was so brave and so gracious this entire time and really I was just hiding.’”
