TikToker Sydney Towle Moved to Hospice Amid Rare Bile Duct Cancer Battle
TikToker Sydney Towle Shares Heartbreaking Update Amid Cancer Battle: “This Isn’t Good”
Sydney Towle’s health has taken a heartbreaking turn.
Three years after the content creator was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare bile duct cancer, her brother Austin Towle shared she has entered hospice care.
“Sydney has been moved to hospice and is surrounded by her friends and family,” Austin wrote over a photo of the siblings’ family gathered in Sydney’s hospital room in an Aug. 4 TikTok. “Thank you all for your love and support.”
Hospice is a form of comfort-focused care provided to patients “when a cure is not an option,” according to the Hospice Foundation of America.
But even with the devastating update on the 26-year-old’s health, Austin is grateful for the outpouring of love amid the challenging chapter.
“Thank you all so much,” he added in the post’s caption. “Your love and support does not go unnoticed.”
Just two weeks earlier, the Dartmouth graduate updated her 1.1 million TikTok followers on the next phase of a clinical trial involving tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, admitting she hasn’t been as active on social media due to the treatment’s toll.
