Andy Isaac, on X - formerly Twitter, posted "some final thoughts" saying he has decided to enter hospice, calling today's update likely his final post.

"Having cancer since 2006 has finally taken its toll on me, it has finally stripped me of quality of life. I have decided on hospice care.

"Life has been a struggle these last few months and years. I hope I can find some peace in hospice."

Isaac, is known for his humorous posts on all things Detroit sports and food, built a following of more than 88,000 followers on X @WorldofIsaac and on Instagram @faturdayisaac with more than 3,800.

He said he may keep a journal of his final days but wrote he is tired and in pain.

A foot infection has hampered his mobility, keeping him from walking, he wrote, and he said he may not have the strength for all the last minute things he would like to do - but added that he'll try.

"I hope I gave you all a positive outlook on life," he wrote. "I hope I made even the smallest impact.

"Be kind to each other. I love you all. Truly, I do."

Personal news:

I have composed so many messages on social media. For myself, for work, for entertainment, for food, for cancer, for Faturday, for sports, for the Lions and for the Pistons, and for the Tigers and for MSU and so on and so on and so on.

I dont know when my first tweet or post was but I can tell you, sadly, this is probably one of my last.

Having cancer since 2006 has finally taken its toll on me, it has finally stripped me of quality of life.

I have decided on hospice care.

Life has been a struggle these last few months and years. I hope I can find some peace in hospice.

I may keep a journal of my final days. I'm not sure yet. I'm tired and I'm in pain, i have a horrible foot infection that is preventing me from walking and I just don't have the strength to do all the last minute things I want.

But I'll try.

I hope I gave you all a positive outlook on life. I hope I made even the smallest impact.

Be kind to each other. I love you all. Truly, I do.
