The news came through her brother, Austin Towle, who posted a photo showing loved ones gathered around her hospital bed. In the message, he said Sydney is "surrounded by her friends and family," while also thanking everyone who has continued sending support during this difficult time. The update marks another chapter in the 26-year-old creator's public cancer journey, one she never hid from her audience. For nearly three years, Sydney has documented life after being diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of bile duct cancer. More than 1.1 million followers have watched her share treatment updates, hospital stays, and honest conversations about the highs and lows that came with her diagnosis. Sydney Towle kept sharing hopeful updates even while undergoing treatment In recent months, Sydney had been preparing for the next stage of a clinical trial using tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy. She regularly filmed from the hospital, telling followers that she expected to spend several weeks there as part of the process. Even with the physical challenges, her outlook rarely changed. In one of her TikTok videos, she explained why she always chose hope over fear."People always ask why I'm so positive... why would I not envision the best-case scenario?" She added that the other option would simply be "to just be sad," something she never wanted to focus on while continuing treatment. The message Sydney Towle kept repeating through her cancer journey Sydney also admitted that not every day was easy online. She told followers that reading comments predicting how much time she had left could be painful."I won't lie, the comments sometimes really get to me... It's hard to read stuff like that about yourself." Still, she said she refused to let those messages decide how she viewed her own future."Because ultimately, it's my life... if I believe that things will work out and be good, that's my choice." She often reminded her audience of one simple thought that stayed with many of her followers. "Miracles happen every day. Nobody knows for sure what's gonna happen," she said. Her latest update follows months of pursuing every available treatment option Before entering hospice, Sydney continued looking for new treatment possibilities. She had shared that doctors found tumors in her lungs, and earlier this year also revealed tumors in her stomach. Even after a former oncologist suggested transitioning to end-of-life care, she sought a second opinion and decided to keep exploring additional treatment options. She also celebrated a personal milestone during that period by walking the runway at Miami Swim Week after receiving clearance from a new specialist to travel. The show featured swimwear designed for post-cancer bodies. Now, according to Austin Towle's latest update, Sydney remains surrounded by family and close friends as they stay by her side during hospice care.
