Shannen Doherty is making an emotional plea.
As she battles stage four breast cancer, she took to Instagram on Saturday to urge her fans to stay home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
This comes four years after the 90210 star's initial cancer diagnosis.
During that time, she did everything she could to battle it.
This was followed by chemotherapy, radiation, and then finally intense reconstructive surgery.
She was considered in remission for years until last year.
"I don't think I've processed it. It's a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways."
“It’s so weird for me to be diagnosed and then somebody who was, you know, seemingly healthy to go first,” said Doherty.
“It was really, like, shocking.”
“Our life doesn’t end the minute we get that diagnosis. [We still have some living to do.”](https://www.instagram.com/p/B067d6YBSNY/
“I definitely have days where I say, ‘Why me?’ ” she said.
“And then I go, well, ‘Why not me? Who else? Who else besides me deserves this?’ None of us do.”
The virus, which causes COVID-19, has now killed over 19,000 people worldwide.
It's even put countries such as Italy and China under lockdown for weeks.
"I am staying home (and ranting) for us ALL. For my fellow cancer warriors who fight hard everyday for more time," she began her caption.
"For my mom. For my family. For my husband. For my mother in law and father in law. For my friends. For my friends kids. For every single one of you."
She went on to share how one of her closest friends of 28 years "has decided to end her battle with metastatic cancer." That friend is currently in the hospital alone and for the last time.
"For every doctor and hospital worker. For every person at a grocery store doing their best to help. For every person forced to be on the front lines. I’m doing this for us. Please join me. #stayhome."
Another fan could relate to the star's struggle.
"My mom is a cancer survivor and I'm I'm staying in for her!! She lives with me & my husband!! Please take care of yourself."
A retail worker also asked people to stay home.
"#stayhome I have to work retail because apparently Office Depot/office max is essential so every day I risk catching or becoming a carrier during this madness. not allowed to wear protection, too short staffed to call out sick," they wrote.
So far, there's been posts by Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and more.
He also managed to hilariously shade celebs in the process, because, Ryan Reynolds.
Celebs aren't just doing this for themselves.
As Shannen said, they're doing it for doctors and nurses, for grocery store workers, for us. So, let's all do our part!
