Shannen, who married her long-term partner in October 2011, confessed that their relationship has been the perfect foundation for her.

"I have learned what partnership truly is with this man," she added. "Yes we love to travel and have adventures together like today... hanging out with Vicky the zebra but everyday is an adventure with Kurt regardless of where we are and what we are doing. #thisistruelove #anniversary #mexico" [sic]

Earlier this year, the Charmed starlet opened up to ET about her diagnosis, saying it has had a positive effect on her marriage to husband Kurt.

"Cancer has in a strange way done some amazing things for me," she explained. "It's allowed me to be more me, like much more in touch with who I am, and much more vulnerable and the person that I always was, but I think it got hidden behind a lot of other stuff. My marriage was always fantastic but it's even better now."
