Shannen's initial encounter with breast cancer was in 2015, a battle she would ultimately overcome, entering a period of remission nearly two years later.

However, in 2020, the unwelcome adversary resurfaced, setting the stage for her continued resilience in the face of adversity.

In early June, she shared the news of her breast cancer's metastasis to her brain, laying bare the emotional tumult she was experiencing. Reflecting on the trying journey, she expressed, "But that fear… The upheaval… the synchronicity of these events… This is the face of cancer." The revelation, she disclosed, had come to her in January, precisely on the 16th.

On that date in 2023, she underwent a surgical procedure to extract and biopsy a tumor residing within her cranial confines. Accompanying an Instagram post, she wrote, "I am striving to summon courage, yet I stand paralyzed by fear. The weight of trepidation was insurmountable."

Encouragingly, it seems the operation yielded success, as evidenced by her inaugural public appearance following the disclosure, her countenance illuminated by an immense grin.
