Undergoing brain surgery in January, Shannen Doherty is just sharing how she was impacted, revealing she couldn't even hold a glass.
"He had to get removed and dissected to see his pathology," she told People magazine. "After surgery, my right hand, I couldn't hold a glass… It's why they put you on so many steroids. It’s to take down any brain swelling. And I have a horrible reaction with steroids, so I tried to cut down the steroids, and then the brain would swell a little bit more, and the hand would stop working completely."
