In the past few months, Isabella Strahan, the twin daughter of Michael Strahan, battled brain cancer with the unwavering support of her family. Because of the tumor’s quick escalation, she underwent emergency surgery and had to relearn how to walk.
Following the operation, Isabella had to relearn how to walk with the help of medical experts and the support of her twin sister, Sophia. She underwent rehabilitation and several rounds of radiation, which resulted in hair loss, among other side effects. Although it was a grueling process, she eventually gained her mobility.

Isabella initially thought she had vertigo, but after continuous nausea and vomiting, she knew something was wrong. After vomiting blood, she went to the doctor and underwent several tests.

It was discovered that Isabella had a tumor the size of a golf ball behind her brain. The malignant tumor, medically called medulloblastoma, usually hits children ages five to nine. Unfortunately, it attacked her at 18 years old.
As Isabella continues her journey battling brain cancer, including chemotherapy in February, her family and friends continue to give their unwavering support. Her proud dad posted about his daughter on Instagram, writing, “I love you Isabella and I’m always by your side.” He also thanked those who continued to send love and support to the Strahan family.
