Strahan wrote for his daughter, after an exclusive interview with ENews,“I love you, Isabella and I’m always by your side. To all sending love, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!” Prayers she’ll pull through. “ Isabella Strahan, embodying resilience and courage, is currently facing a daunting challenge, in her fight with medulloblastoma.
Her battle began subtly with headaches during her freshman year in college, initially dismissed as vertigo. But then something really serious happened. She began throwing up blood, and doctors found out she had a tumor in her brain as big as a golf ball. It was growing fast. Since then, she’s been incredibly brave, facing this big challenge.
After undergoing emergency surgery the day before her 19th birthday, Isabella endured a month of rehabilitation and 30 grueling sessions of radiation therapy. But her spirit remains unbroken. “I got to ring the bell yesterday,” she shared with a smile, signaling the end of her radiation therapy.
The next chapter in Isabella’s journey involves chemotherapy at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center. True to her resilient spirit, she plans to document this experience through a YouTube series, with the aim of supporting the hospital.
Her father, Michael Strahan, takes immense pride in her strength, stating, “I know that we’re never given more than we can handle and that she is going to crush this.”
