Shannen Doherty got some help with her bucket list recently.
The former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star had her oncologist, Dr. Lawrence Piro, as a guest on her “Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty” podcast as they discussed her ongoing battle with cancer and its impact on her life.
"You invited me on this amazing yacht with your family and I got to go to Italy with you, which was like bucket list," the actor told her doctor. "By the way, you knew it was on my bucket list. I mean you called me and you said, 'It's kind of bucket list, Shannen.' I was so excited."
Dr. Piro called the time together an “amazing trip" being with his family and the adventurous Doherty.
“And she was just, I mean she’s incredible, jumping off every level of the yacht. Even the highest. Shannen is fearless, she truly he is,” he said.
Although Doherty said she hurt herself on the yacht’s stairs, it was still a superb vacation.
Dr. Piro also explained on the episode, while he and Doherty have a doctor-patient relationship, they are also friends. The pair have “always kept our lanes separate.”
"And you, for example, will never ask me anything medical when we're doing something social," he said. "Or if you have to, you'll say, 'Look, I'm really sorry for asking you this now, we're having dinner, but just blah blah blah blah.'"
Doherty added how she always does her best to keep the medical questions to business hours for her pal Piro.
