Robach said, “I just always marveled at her bravery.
I loved her as Brenda Walsh on 90210.
So I was so excited to get to actually meet her.
“It’s a very sad day that she lost her battle.
All of our time is limited, but she was acutely aware of it.
She said, ‘Charlie Brown says to Snoopy, YOLO Snoopy, you only live once.
And Snoopy said, you got it wrong, Charlie Brown.
You only die once.
We live every day.’
And that was how she chose to live these last few years.”
Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and went into remission in 2017.
Doherty revealed last year that it spread to her brain.
She completed her final round of chemotherapy the following year and has been cancer-free since.
