Thoughts and Prayers on their way.

I guarantee you, if the “real” cancer was shown in Hollywood and on tv and movie screen, you would not have to convince people to show up for screenings. Nose bleeds, gross rashes, hemorrhoids…people would never be late to get checked!!

I am sorry she’s going through this. It’s heartbreaking 💔

Prayers to you Shannen.
