During her “Good Morning America” interview, Isabella remained in high spirits and revealed her brain tumor, medically known as medulloblastoma, first manifested in a series of terrible headaches. Her situation worsened as she suddenly couldn’t walk in a straight line and started vomiting blood.

After a thorough checkup, Michael received the devastating news. A growing malignant tumor, with a size larger than a golf call, was behind his daughter’s brain.

“I don’t really remember much. I just remember trying to figure out how to get to LA ASAP. And it just doesn’t feel real,” he said. Isabella had emergency surgery to remove the mass and has since been on the road to recovery.
Isabella has been sharing her battle through a vlog series, including the very first post, where she talked about how symptoms of her cancer started showing and when she realized something was deeply wrong.

Isabella Strahan also documented her last radiation treatment and the moment she rang the victory bell at the hospital in her third vlog. She hopes her openness can help and inspire others in a similar situation.
