I feel like if they let Izzie live that the show will become completely unrealistic. The show is definitely unrealistic but Izzie becoming that 5% who lives through what she has will really send the show off the deep end. Cancer that metastasizes to the brain, liver, etc.? I watched my husband's father die an excruciating death when his sarcoma metastasized to his liver, brain, kidneys, etc. And this is after the doctors did numerous surgeries in hopes of removing all the tumors. If they have Izzie live, I'm kinda curious how they're going to address that 5% chance they gave her at diagnosis.

Also, I'm not a doctor but I'd imagine that if your cancer metastasized to your digestive system that you'd have some significant symptoms such as indigestion, constipation, nausea, etc. Izzie's cancer is in her liver so I'd imagine she might be jaundiced. Her only symptoms were the brain symptoms but other than that she felt completely fine. Is that possible?

It depends on how bad it is has gotten in the liver, really. My grandmother had colon cancer with mets to the liver and was given 3 months to live, but she lived for over a year. It was several months before the liver cancer gave her symptoms. She wasn't jaundiced at all until a few days before she passed away and we had a hard time telling because she'd just gone to Florida to see her oldest sister and we thought she had a tan.
