The ‘Good Morning America’ host’s daughter was diagnoised with medulloblastoma in 2024. Michael Strahan has shared the heartbreaking thing his daughter Isabella told him during her brain cancer treatment. In a new interview, he explained that after she got her tumor removed she underwent a round of chemotherapy, which took a toll on her body. Still, Isabella kept her spirits up.
“I knew she wouldn’t quit,” he added about his daughter. “She was going to fight — and she did.”. After documenting her cancer journey on YouTube last year, Isabella, 20, is now focused on her studies, majoring in communications at the University of Southern California.
The Good Morning America host noted that while his daughter is in good shape, he’s still on edge when she goes to the doctor. “Her doctors feel very confident, she’s going to be fine,” he said. “That’s what we’re going to hold on to, but you’re nervous every time. That will never go away but as long as the results come back positive, then we’ll live to fight another day.”.
Weighing in, Isabella said: “Obviously you can’t predict what will happen and that’s a little scary. But I don’t think you can solely live in fear. I think I should live every day. Take every opportunity. I see the impact that can come from sharing my experience. I want to be a voice.”.
She noted that she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October 2023 after she began experiencing headaches during her first semester as a freshman at USC. “I’m feeling good, not too bad,” she said at the time. “I’m very excited for this whole process to wrap, but you just have to keep living every day, I think, through the whole thing.”.
