In a video posted to her YouTube channel on July 18, Isabella Strahan, who had previously shared her brain tumor diagnosis, provided a health update.
In the video titled “Goodbye Hospital,” Isabella filmed herself going for an MRI and revealed she was cancer-free. While driving and discussing her scan results, she said, “It was a great, great scan. Everything was clear. I’m cancer-free and doing fantastic. My next scheduled medical appointment isn’t until October.”
She expressed gratitude to her medical team for their support during her treatment for medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor located in the cerebellum.
Isabella added, “I already miss my doctors,” and mentioned that it was her last hospital vlog until October.
Isabella and her father first shared her diagnosis on Good Morning America in January, revealing she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October 2023. She experienced severe headaches and nausea during her first semester at the University of Southern California, leading to her diagnosis. An MRI after vomiting blood revealed a golf ball-sized tumor in her brain.
She underwent multiple rounds of radiation therapy and had surgery to remove the tumor. In January, she finished radiation therapy and celebrated by ringing the bell.
Isabella has documented her cancer battle on YouTube, including a video last month of her final chemotherapy session, where her family celebrated by throwing confetti. She wore a crown and rang a bell to signify the end of her treatment.
Her father, Michael, shared a video of the celebration on Instagram, expressing pride in his daughter. He wrote, “@isabellastrahan you are a SUPERWOMAN! Ringing that bell finishing chemo and on your way! You continue to fight with a smile on your face, strength, and determination. I am one proud Dad! Love you, Bella.”
Michael also discussed how his daughter’s diagnosis changed his perspective on life during their January Good Morning America appearance, admitting he realized he needed support and that it reshaped his outlook on many things.
Michael Strahan, a former NFL player, has four children: son Michael Jr. and daughter Tanita with his first wife Wanda Hutchins, and twin daughters Isabella and Sophia with his second wife Jean Muggli.
