TikToker Sydney Towle Shares Heartbreaking Update Amid Cancer Battle: “This Isn’t Good”
Sydney Towle is getting candid about the struggles of staying positive through her traumatic cancer experience.
The Dartmouth graduate, who was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, or as bile duct cancer, two years ago, shared a sad update with her 800,000 TikTok followers on June 17.
“It’s the first time that I’ve gone in and they’ve said, ‘This isn’t good,'” Sydney said in a video. “It’s obviously not what you want to hear when you have cancer.”
She continued to share that the latest update to her health will require her to get a hepatic pump, which according to UPenn Medicine, is “a medical device used to deliver chemotherapy directly to the liver.”
Sydney—who will go in for surgery on June 30 and remain hospitalized for four or five days—noted that trying the pump in combination with the chemo will be “experimental.”
Through tears, she added how her health has interfered with her normal life as a 25-year-old.
“I didn’t talk about it because I was scared this was going to happen,” she said. “I was supposed to go on a trip and leave June 30, so I just canceled the trip. Hopefully I’ll still get to take it one day.”
