Izzie, meanwhile, is having trouble with her patient, who needs a biopsy on a potentially cancerous testicular lump.
As medical resident Isobel (Izzie) Stevens, Heigl has had her fair share of dramatic story lines that have won the hearts of viewers.
It wasn't so long ago when everyone fell in love with Heigl's character Izzie Stevens on the Emmy Award winning show.
Heigl was expected to return mid-season to reprise her role as Dr. Izzie Stevens and had been in "talks" with the studio regarding her comeback.
What did come as a bit of a shocker is the fact that Heigl and the show's creators agreed to let Heigl and her character Izzie Stevens leave before the end of the current season.
