Since her diagnosis, Isabella has undergone three craniotomies.
‘KEEP KICKING CANCER’S ASS’

What is medulloblastoma?
On January 11, 2024, Michael Strahan’s daughter Isabella appeared on Good Morning America and revealed that she is battling medulloblastoma.
Medulloblastoma is a cancerous brain tumor found in the lower back part of the brain, known as the cerebellum. It is the second most common brain tumor in children, however, it can develop at any age.
The condition starts with a growth of cells, known as a tumor, and can quickly expand to other parts of the brain. The cells spread through the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord but do not usually spread to other parts of the body, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Signs and symptoms of medulloblastoma, which can be diagnosed through a neurological exam or image testing, include:
Dizziness
Double vision
Nausea
Headaches
Vomiting
Medulloblastoma can be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and in some cases, clinical trials. The National Cancer Institute reports a 5-year survival rate of 72.1%.
A fifth viewer said, “You are so pretty and strong. I’m happy you are doing better. Keep smiling.”
THE VERY BEGINNING
In her GMA interview, Isabella sat down with her father while speaking with Robin Roberts.
She revealed that she was diagnosed on October 23.
At the time, Isabella was getting used to college life and she started to feel the symptoms around October 1.
“That’s when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn’t walk straight,” she revealed.
Isabella also discussed why she wanted to document her story, “Just be a voice and be a person for people who are maybe going through chemotherapy or radiation can look at.”
When it was his turn to talk, Michael talked about how proud he was of his daughter for sharing her story, “She’s always been strong and this is something that is so personal that I didn’t know that it would be something that she would want to share. I’m extremely proud.”
