The actress, who is battling stage four breast cancer, has told fans she is hoping to "squeeze out another three to five years" of life. During a recent episode of her podcast, Let's Be Clear, Shannen explained that by living for another few years, it will allow new treatments, such as T-cell therapy, to become available to her. "There's going to be a lot more options that will give (us) another five years. Then in those five years, there's a whole other group of options, and eventually there's going to be a cure."
