‘I’m in So Much Pain’: Michael Strahan’s Daughter, 19, Survives Emergency Surgery While Battling Cancer

Michael Strahan’s daughter posted an update after having another surgery. This was her second operation for cancer treatment and happened unexpectedly after she came down with a fever.

The football player and TV personality, Michael Strahan, is known for the “Good Morning America” show and his Super Bowl Championship. Apart from being a sportsman and an entertainer, he is also a father of four: his daughter Tanita, 32, son Michael Jr., 29, and twin girls Isabella and Sophia, both 19.

The youngest one, Isabella Strahan, has been diagnosed with cancer and has been sharing her treatment journey online.

In her recent vlogs, Isabella revealed that she had to undergo an unexpected second brain surgery. The recovery from her first round of chemotherapy for her brain tumor was going well until she developed a fever and had to urgently return to the hospital.

“I have a fever again. I got a fever, 102, and had to come back in. So, we’re trying to find out what’s wrong, but no one can find out what’s wrong. I don’t know, this is like the worst fever I think I’ve had,” she commented.

What began with a fever ultimately led to another medical intervention.

Isabella shared with her followers that her last-minute surgery involved draining fluid from the back of her head because her scar became infected in the process of healing from the previous procedure. She explained that while she would be under anesthesia, doctors would insert a needle into her head to carry out the drainage.

Clearly, this was not part of her plans for the day. The girl hadn’t anticipated returning to the hospital so soon.

“Very not what I planned to do because I didn’t plan on coming back,” she said. “So, going in for surgery. Wish me luck.”

Surgeons meticulously cleaned out Isabella’s scar for infection and replaced a section of her skull with a titanium plate. Upon waking up, she cracked a joke about being “part titanium,” yet beneath the humor, Isabella was truly in agony.

“I’m in so much pain, and my head is wrapped like this. My face is extremely puffy, and this sucks. I was in so much pain earlier, I was like screaming. This is not fun,” Isabella shared, her voice raspy with pain.
