January 12, the first round of radiation took place. My fear is obvious. I am extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life. I am fortunate as I have great doctors like Dr Amin Mirahdi and the amazing techs at cedar sinai. But that fear…. The turmoil….. the timing of it all…. This is what cancer can look like.” The actress had earlier shared a video of the process of the medical professionals fitting her head for a mask that will hold it steady while she goes under the machine, captioning that video “January 9, 2023.” A doctor talks with Doherty through the process as she lays flat.
