THOUGH her battle with breast cancer is far from over, Shannen Doherty is blessed to have a supportive squad by her side.

“Thank you to these three who helped me thru an impossibly tough day and continue to be there every minute supporting and loving me,” the actress penned to Instagram Monday, days after she initially shaved her head.

Joined by mother Rosa Elizabeth, close pals Anne Marie Kortright and Chris Cortazzo, Doherty, 45, also thanked husband Kurt Iswarienko for leaving her in great hands while away in Mexico.

First diagnosed in March 2015, Doherty didn’t reveal she was struggling with cancer until filing a lawsuit against former business managers last summer. The “Beverly Hills: 90210” star alleged her money was mismanaged leading to a lapse in health insurance. Doherty didn’t see a doctor until she had insurance again, which ultimately prolonged her diagnosis.

As Doherty told People in August, she is maintaining a positive mindset while fighting for her life.

“I am continuing to eat right, exercise and stay very positive about my life,” Doherty said. “I am thankful to my family, friends and doctors for their support and, of course, my fans who have stood by me.”

The former 90210 and Charmed star was in Australia for the Supernova expo last month.
