Shannen Doherty shared heartbreaking social media post just days before she died

The news of Shannen Doherty’s passing caught the world by storm and left many mourning. The Charmed star was 53 and battled cancer for the past seven years of her life.

Before her tragic passing, she made a heartbreaking post online.

During her battle with the disease, Doherty often shared updates regarding her health condition. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 when she disclosed that she had ‘invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node.’

After several surgeries and treatments, the 90210 star experienced remission after her initial cancer diagnosis, but the disease later returned.

In 2020, she shared the devastating news that she had been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer, a severe stage where the cancer spreads to various parts of the body.

In 2023, Doherty confirmed that the cancer had metastasized to her brain and bones, resulting in surgery that removed ‘almost all’ of the brain tumor.

In her final social media post, the actress shared a clip from the Let’s Be Clear podcast on her Instagram page.

“So, you know, for the first time in I have no idea how long, I’m going to be on chemo for I have no idea if it’s going to be, you know, three months or if its going to be six months or if we are going, you know, if after three months if it’s not working if we’re going to change again,” he said in the clip.

“Like, I don’t really, that’s not something that I can predict. It’s not something my doctors can predict and it’s scary.

“It’s like a big wake up call at the same time I got to say that there is some positivity there and the positivity is that because my molecular structure of my cancer cells changed recently.

“It means that there’s a lot more protocols for me to try. So, you know, for the first time in a couple months probably I feel hopeful because there are so many more protocols now.”

“Whereas before I was hopeful but I was still getting prepared.”

Doherty’s death was confirmed yesterday, July 14, by her friend and publicist Leslie Sloane.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty.

“On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease. The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.”

We are so very sorry for this devastating loss. May she rest in peace.

Major Retailer To Slash 3.5% Of Jobs And Close 5 Mall Anchor Locations

A Major Retailer Will Close Five Mall Anchor Stores And Cut 3.5% Of Jobs

Macy’s unveiled a strategic restructuring strategy as a major step in reviving its image and adjusting to the constantly shifting retail scene. The venerable department store chain plans to close five of its full-line locations and reduce staff by 3.5%. This occurs as incoming CEO Jeff Gennette’s successor, Tony Spring, a new leader with new ideas, gets ready to assume over.

A corporate spokeswoman acknowledged the employment reduction, citing the necessity to become a more nimble and efficient organization in order to meet changing market and customer needs. This action is in line with Macy’s resolve to maintain its leadership in the cutthroat retail sector.

It is noteworthy that activist investors hoping to profit from Macy’s real estate holdings had made a bid that the retailer had been considering. Tony Spring will soon take over as CEO, thus this reorganization may indicate that Macy’s will once again prioritize its core competencies and long-term growth plans.

The outgoing CEO, Jeff Gennette, had earlier stated that the major shop reductions that had been going on since 2016—which included the closure of over 170 locations—had come to a stop with the announcement of the closures a year ago. Analysts for the sector have speculated that there may be more closures to come.

Increased presence in smaller, off-mall sites is one of Macy’s proactive efforts. In order to accommodate changing consumer tastes, executives have stressed the significance of striking the correct balance between in-store and off-mall establishments. Five full-line stores will be closed in the upcoming year as part of a broader initiative to maximize Macy’s shop portfolio.

The first publication to report on these changes was The Wall Street Journal, which referenced an internal memo to staff members that disclosed intentions to remove some 2,350 corporate roles in the upcoming month. Initiatives like supply chain automation, outsourcing, and quicker decision-making procedures targeted at boosting competitiveness and efficiency are predicted to be the main drivers of these reductions.

Apart from shutting down its locations, Macy’s is also planning to sell and move two of its furniture stores. This calculated move demonstrates Macy’s dedication to maximizing its asset base and reallocating funds where they will have the biggest impact.

The Macy’s anchor stores in the impacted malls—which are situated in Virginia, Florida, Hawaii, and California—will close. Although there may be some short-term interruptions, this is in keeping with Macy’s goal of building a network of stores that is more dynamic and effective.

Macy’s is setting out on this revolutionary journey with a conservative mindset, intent on upholding its heritage while adjusting to the reality of the new retail environment. Tony Spring’s new team is well-positioned to lead the business into a more promising future and maintain Macy’s position as a mainstay of American retail.

It will be interesting to watch how these developments pan out and how Macy’s redefines its position in the cutthroat retail market as this retail behemoth keeps changing. Watch this space for further information about Macy’s makeover and its attempts to remain competitive in the retail industry.
