Congratulations are in order!
Michael Strahan’s daughter, Isabella Strahan, reveals that she is now cancer free. In January, Strahan, revealed she had been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
“Everything was clear,” she said in a video shared to Instagram. “Cancer free, and everything is great. I don’t have another doctor’s appointment until October.”
She went on to say, “I miss my doctors already, and everyone who’s helped me because they’re all so nice. I feel like I’m just saddened today knowing that I wasn’t going to be going back for a while.”
Michael Strahan and his daughter, Isabella, previously revealed that she was battling a malignant brain tumor known as medulloblastoma.
During a previous interview with Robin Roberts on “Good Morning America”, Strahan said, “I literally think that in a lot of ways, I’m the luckiest man in the world because I’ve got an amazing daughter.” He continued, “I know she’s going through it, but I know that we’re never given more than we can handle and that she is going to crush this.”
Isabella was diagnosed with the tumor in October and began experiencing headaches at the beginning of her freshman year at University of Southern California.“I didn’t notice anything was off till probably like Oct. 1,” she said. “That’s when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn’t walk straight.”
“I woke up, probably at like, 1 p.m. I dreaded waking up. But I was throwing up blood,” she recalled. “I was like, ‘Hm, this probably isn’t good.’ So I texted [my sister], who then notified the whole family.”
As her symptoms continued, she was encouraged by her father to seek medical attention. Michael said, “That was when we decided, ‘You need to really go get a thorough checkup.’ And thank goodness for the doctor. I feel like this doctor saved her life because she was thorough enough to say, ‘Let’s do the full checkup.’”
