Michael Strahan's daughter, Isabella, has shared some snaps from her vacation as she prepares for her upcoming chemotherapy treatment.
As previously reported, 19-year-old Isabella Strahan revealed that she underwent emergency surgery to address a tumor discovered at the back of her brain.
She disclosed her diagnosis with medulloblastoma, a malignant tumor at the base of the skull.
"I'm feeling good. Not too bad," Isabella shared, expressing her readiness for the next phase – the first round of chemotherapy at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center in North Carolina. "That's my next step. I'm ready for it to start and be one day closer to being over."
The 19-year-old is gearing up for the next leg of her journey with chemotherapy next month by enjoying a relaxing poolside day with her twin sister, Sophia, capturing the moments in a series of snaps shared on social media.
Sophia took to Instagram to showcase the day, posting a series of images featuring the duo rocking bikinis under the hot sun. "Us again," Sophia captioned the pictures, depicting the pair soaking in the sun's rays before taking a refreshing dip in the pool.
"Love you," Isabella commented on the post, adding: "Livin."
Reflecting on her symptoms during her freshman year at the University of Southern California, Isabella initially attributed headaches, nausea, and difficulty walking straight to vertigo. However, as her condition worsened, reaching a critical point where she was vomiting blood, medical professionals discovered a rapidly growing 4-centimeter tumor at the back of her head.
Michael recalled the shock of the diagnosis, saying: "It didn’t feel real. I don't really remember much. I just remember trying to figure out how to get to [Los Angeles] ASAP."
Documenting her journey on her YouTube vlog, Isabella shared an emotional account of the day that marked the end of a challenging six-week period. "I'm very excited to finally be done," Isabella exclaimed joyfully in her vlog. "It's been a long six weeks, and I'm very happy to finally heal my head after all of this because the side effects and everything get to you."
The emotional occasion was marked by tears as Isabella rang the bell, symbolizing the completion of her final radiation treatment. "So excited to ring that bell… Never thought I'd be ringing the bell," she tearfully expressed.
Surrounded by her family, including her father and her twin sister, Sophia, Isabella was showered with flowers and balloons to commemorate the special occasion at the New York Proton Center, where she underwent radiation treatment.
We continue to wish Isabella all the best with her health.
