Randy Helsby

Randy Helsby is a patient who had a large abdominal sarcoma.

History
Randy had come in after a car accident and was found to have an abdominal sarcoma. Owen Hunt tracked his recurrences from there and took his case when he came back in for another resection. When they took him in, the scarring was fusing his organs, so they closed and told him he was going to die.

When they heard the news, Randy's girlfriend, Angela, begged them to try something else. Inspired by her own battle with cancer, Izzie asked Owen to try other options. He ultimately agreed, but Randy died in surgery.

Romantic
He'd been dating Angela for eight years when he died. He planned to propose, but he got distracted by his cancer. He had the ring in his mouth guard case. They had bought a condo together and rescued a puppy. Randy decided before his surgery not to wait any longer to propose, but he died before he got the chance.
