Cancer Brought Shannen Doherty Closer To Husband

Shannen Doherty believes that her breast cancer ordeal has solidified her union with Kurt Iswarienko.

The actress was diagnosed in 2015, four years after marrying Kurt, and thinks the gruelling treatment schedule brought them closer together and even put an end to their arguing.

She told PEOPLE: "Cancer solidified us. Kurt and I have a much deeper appreciation for each other now. It's not that our marriage wasn't good before. But we were definitely going through some growing pains. We would lock horns on things, and instead of resolving it, we wouldn't speak for a couple of days.

"We don't let a night go by mad at each other. The last time we had a big argument was pre-cancer.

"For anybody to think that the only person altered by cancer is the person with cancer is incredibly wrong. Cancer alters the people in your life. And it's shaped both of us. We look at life very differently now.

"Kurt and I look at each other with such profound respect now. He was my rock in every way possible, and he made sure I knew how much he loved and valued me. We have a much deeper appreciation for each other now, and a much larger capacity for forgiveness."

The 48-year-old also praised her husband for helping her to appreciate her post-cancer body.

She said: "How Kurt sees me really helps me be a better person. He was always like, 'I've never seen someone handle something so difficult with so much grace. You're so strong'. And I figured out, it's a quiet strength. And that is far sexier and appealing than I had before."
