She filed a lawsuit against her former business managers alleging that the diagnosis was delayed because they left her without medical insurance. The suit was settled this past August.<\/p>\n<p>Early in 2016, doctors discovered that the cancer had spread to Doherty&#8217;s lymph nodes, causing her to undergo a <a href=\"https:\/\/issels.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/15\/angelina-jolie-reveals-decision-to-undergo-preventive-double-mastectomy\/\">single mastectomy<\/a> in May.
