Shannen Doherty is suing her manager for breast cancer! The actress filed claims that he allowed her health insurance to lapse, which consequently worsened her condition.

Doherty reveals that she found out about her cancer in March. The actress also shared that she may have to get a mastectomy and undergo chemotherapy as a result.

In court filings, Shannen contends that the firm who employed her business manager did not pay an invoice to her insurance premium. This led to the cancellation of her insurance in 2014.

She also said that the firm took 5 percent of  what she made in return for managing her finances, including payment of her medical insurance to the Screen Actors Guild, and that she couldn’t get another insurance policy until 2015.

“During the lapse period she didn’t regularly visit doctors, which had been her practice,” a source reported.

When Doherty was insured again, she discovered that she had “invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node,” as outlined in her court filing.

Doherty also contended that if she discovered the cause of her illness earlier, she might not have to undergo extreme measures of rehabilitation.
