Shannen Doherty candidly shares post-chemo dance class, time with her mum

Shannen Doherty has continued to candidly share moments from her breast cancer journey on social media, this time revealing her favourite thing to do the day after receiving chemotherapy is go to dance class.

The former 90210 actor had a booty-shaking session with celebrity trainer Jäm Malibu on Friday.

"After chemo day. I believe that just moving helps so much in the healing process," Doherty wrote on Instagram.

"It's not always easy and sometimes I can't do it the next day but I try to make an effort to get the blood flowing and the toxins out of my body thru [sic] working out."

Malibu shared the video to her own Instagram account, writing that she was "beyond proud" of Doherty.

In a later post, Doherty showed herself having some downtime with her mother, Rosa.

The posts came a day after Doherty shared video footage of her undergoing treatment to her Instagram account.

"Chemo day. I'm lucky to have such a great team!" Doherty captioned the video, which has been viewed over 500,000 times and was flooded with supportive comments from her fans.

Doherty revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2015.

The actress was forced to disclose her diagnosis after TMZ reported she was suing her former manager for cutting off her health insurance, which resulted in her failing to attend regular doctors' check ups during the time at which the cancer could have been discovered.

Since her diagnosis, Doherty has been open in sharing her journey via her social media channels.

In July, she documented the act of shaving her head in a series of poignant, black and white pictures posted on Instagram.
