Isabella’s journey started in October 2023 when she began experiencing persistent headaches during her first year of college at the University of Southern California. At first, she dismissed it as vertigo, but when the symptoms worsened and she started vomiting blood, she knew something was seriously wrong.
Isabella reached out to her sister, who immediately alerted the family. Together, they decided it was time for a thorough medical check-up.
The doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center discovered a fast-growing tumor the size of a golf ball at the back of Isabella’s brain. Although she doesn’t remember much from that time, Michael Strahan recalls the urgency he felt to be by his daughter’s side in Los Angeles. Isabella underwent surgery, followed by radiation treatment and a month of rehabilitation.

After completing her treatments, Isabella proudly rang the bell signifying the end of her therapy. It was a significant milestone after 30 challenging sessions and six weeks of treatment. Isabella hopes to use her experience as a voice of support for others going through similar challenges.
While Michael Strahan acknowledges the difficulty of keeping the diagnosis a secret for two months, he considers himself fortunate to have a remarkable daughter like Isabella. He firmly believes that they can handle whatever comes their way and that Isabella will conquer this battle.
