Former NFL star and “Good Morning America” anchor Michael Strahan revealed on Wednesday that his 19-year-old daughter, Isabella, is facing a setback in her battle against brain cancer. Isabella was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor known as a medulloblastoma back in October. In January, she completed her last radiation treatment and began chemotherapy at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in Durham, North Carolina.
During a recent appearance on “Good Morning America,” Michael shared that Isabella had experienced a fever, prompting a hospital visit and an extended stay. He expressed hope that she would be able to return home soon. Isabella has been documenting her cancer journey on YouTube, sharing the ups and downs of her treatment.
The support from both their personal circle and fans online has been a source of strength for the family, as Michael expressed his gratitude for the well-wishes and encouragement they have received. Isabella’s twin sister, Sophia, continues to attend Duke University while Isabella undergoes treatment, and the family remains hopeful and positive as they navigate this difficult chapter.
Isabella, who is also a student and model, has been open about the challenges of chemotherapy, sharing that the treatment has been one of the toughest experiences of her life. She expressed gratitude for the support she has received as she continues to document her journey on social media.
Michael emphasized the importance of the support they have received, underscoring the positive impact it has had on Isabella. The outpouring of well-wishes and encouragement has contributed to her maintaining a positive outlook during this challenging time, he said.
As Isabella continues her battle, the family remains appreciative of the support they have garnered, both from familiar faces and strangers alike. Their story serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience displayed by those facing adversity, and the power of community in providing comfort and strength during difficult times.
