Doherty, who will celebrate her 47th birthday on April 12, 2018, is trying to remain positive after the test results for a bone density scan and tumor marker came back.

As reported by Today, the actress announced earlier this month that she was in remission. Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.

She informed her 1 million Instagram followers that one of the test results were good, while another was elevated. The higher readings are not necessarily bad news.

Doherty explained that she will be monitored from now on, and more tests might be required in the near future. Despite that, she chooses to remain positive.

"I can’t imagine how it must feel to beat back cancer only to have it return again. I stay positive, stay healthy and do what I can to help promote research so that cancer can be beaten once and for all."
