Since before the current season even began, rumors have been circulating about Katherine Heigl wanting to leave Grey's Anatomy, and of her character Izzie Stevens' untimely demise.

With just one week to go in Season Five, all bets still off.

Hundreds of Grey's Anatomy spoilers and discussions later, we still have no idea if she's actually leaving the series, or if Izzie will succumb to cancer in the season finale.

On Thursday's episode, Izzie's wedding to Alex took place in part because of her deteriorating condition, which was quite evident at the emotional, dream ceremony.

Is next week going to be the end of the line for this original, dynamic character, or can she somehow beat the odds and recover after all she's gone through?

Tell us what you think in the survey below ...

Will Izzie Stevens die in the season finale?
