Indeed, that is great news. Hopefully the worst is over for her now.

And she keeps up with the health kick I.E. no more smoking which this cancer showed her hopefully.

If ever there was a wake up call for Shannen to stop smoking, this was it.
As Betty said, Shannen looked like she'd aged ten years between her leaving 90210 and the start of Charmed, when it was only four years. That was due to smoking.

Here are the images for comparison. Shannen in her last episode of 90210 (circa 1994): Shannen in her first episode of Charmed (circa 1998): Her voice also sounded noticeably deeper on Charmed than it ever did on 90210, even if you compare 90210 Season 4 and Charmed Season 1.

If you took the dates away, one could be forgiven for thinking that those two pictures were taken ten years apart.
That is what smoking did to Shannen, before she got cancer.

I wonder what the future of Shannen and Holly's friendship is? Shannen's cancer seemed to be a killer for them, although I still think that Orange Hitler may have played a role, too. (Shannen is a known Republican, while Holly seems to be extremely anti-Orange Hitler based on her Twitter.)

You would think that Shannen being so ill, politics would be the last thing either of them would think about.
Still, Holly's silence throughout Shannen's battle with cancer is strange. Her other two Charmed sisters, Alyssa and Rose, showed their support. Where was Holly?

Hope for the best for Shannen, and that all will be good in the end. Even with her friends. Such a battle can make quite an impact on friendships.

Nice Shannen's remaining positive. Hopefully she doesn't have too much of a setback obviously.

I agree. Hopefully, she'll be able to beat this cancer once and for all.

I wonder what the future of Shannen and Holly's friendship is? Shannen's cancer seemed to be a killer for them, although I still think that Orange Hitler may have played a role, too. (Shannen is a known Republican, while Holly seems to be extremely anti-Orange Hitler based on her Twitter.) I really wonder the real reason. Wasn't Shannen and Holly seen at the Sydney Opera House for a convention, and then a few months later bang. They stop following each-other on social media. You would think that Shannen being so ill, politics would be the last thing either of them would think about. Still, Holly's silence throughout Shannen's battle with cancer is strange. Her other two Charmed sisters, Alyssa and Rose, showed their support. Where was Holly? It might be politics, I could have sworn, in Shannen's early stages of cancer. Holly was supporting her and seen with Shannen's cancer support group. We didn't learn they stopped following each-other until close to the Elections. Maybe going through cancer just allowed Shannen to see through Holly and realize she isn't a real friend or she is a toxic person to be around. She does nag and complains all the time on social media. Maybe Shannen had enough of her and wants positively going through cancer. Did anyone know Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) was her best friend? I certainly didn't. She has been seen with Shannen almost immediately when she went through cancer treatment and has basically replaced Holly as Shannen's best friend now. Holly now is seen being friendly with Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia on Buffy and Kyra on Charmed), they both attend the conventions now all the time. Seems both Shannen and Holly have replaced each-other with a new best friend in their lives now.

After seeing how Holly's been acting on Twitter ever since the Charmed reboot was announced, I can see why Shannen ditched her. She seems to be a very arrogant, negative person who complains for the sake of complaining, just like later season Piper. I can imagine that suffering through a disease that nearly killed her probably lowered Shannen's tolerance for people like that.
I think Holly's bitter that her career never took off from Charmed like she probably hoped it would. While the other three were already well-known for other things (Heathers/BH 90210 for Shannen, Who's the Boss/Melrose Place for Alyssa, Scream/Jawbreaker for Rose) by the time they did Charmed, Holly had no other notable roles besides a secondary character on the low-rated and short-lived Picket Fences, so Charmed was her first big break. She probably thought that Charmed was going to make her a household name and take her into other major TV and film roles, when in reality, that rarely happens to actors on long-running TV shows, especially not TV shows on underpromoted, low-rated networks like the WB. When you play the same character for a very long time, you tend to get typecast as that character, which makes it hard to transition into other roles.
It shouldn't be any surprise that Holly's career failed to take off after Charmed, especially since later season Piper was written to be so much like her. It's hard to tell the difference between actor and character.

Yeah, Shannen is better off without her. Shannen seems okay with the Charmed reboot.
The only one who's been bitching about it is Holly.
