Michael Strahan shared an update on his daughter Isabella’s battle with brain cancer during a recent episode of “Good Morning America.”
During Wednesday’s broadcast, he shared that Isabella had been dealing with a fluctuating fever over the past few days, leading to a longer-than-expected hospital visit.
“The last three days have been a little rough because she [Isabella] had a fever that kind of comes and goes,” Michael revealed. “I had to take her to the hospital and thought she’d come home a few hours later. …It’s been three days, but hopefully she’ll be home today.”
Earlier this year, Strahan and Isabella revealed her diagnosis of medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor, on “GMA.”
Since then, they’ve been facing the realities of her condition, with Isabella undergoing radiation treatment and starting chemotherapy at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in North Carolina.
While the 19-year-old has shown resilience, her journey hasn’t been easy. Despite Isabella’s resilience, her journey hasn’t been easy. In a recent Vlog, she recounted the physical and emotional toll of chemotherapy treatment.
“My first round of chemo experience was one of the worst things I’ve done ever in my entire life. Oh my God,” Isabella said. “I feel like people made it look so much easier.”
“The first week in the hospital was horrible. It actually wasn’t horrible until it got horrible,” she explained. “It just felt weird getting chemo. I don’t know, you don’t really think you’re gonna get poison put through your body.”
She described feeling the chemo coursing through her body, experiencing extreme achiness. Even after returning home, the pain persisted, reaching levels she had rarely experienced before.
“I’ve never gotten a root canal but it felt like someone had just ripped every single one of my teeth out and just set it back in my mouth with no medicine. My gums, my teeth, my jaw, my tongue,” she continued. “There were tears over this jaw pain. That was for three days.”
