Although her breast cancer continues to spread to other areas of her body, Shannen Doherty is adamant she is not close to death and still has a lot left to do. "I don't want to die," she says.
"I am a very spiritual person, so when I have done what I am here for, on this earth for, then that'll be fine," she told People magazine of eventually passing. "But I'm not anywhere near that." "I'm not afraid of death, I know where I'm going. I know … the people that I'm gonna see. I think I would be afraid of death if I wasn't a good person. But I am."
