As Michael, 52, has taken a few days off from the morning show, his 19-year-old daughter, Isabella, made an announcement on her Instagram Stories.
Isabella informed fans that she had returned to the University of Southern California after taking a leave of absence last fall.
Shortly after heading to USC for her freshman year, Isabella started experiencing concerning headaches and was later diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor.
“That’s when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn’t walk straight,” Isabella said while speaking with GMA host Robin Roberts in January.
Isabella’s new post featured a boomerang video of her and her mom, Jean Muggli, around the university’s campus.
Isabella, who lost her hair from chemotherapy treatments over the past year, wore sunglasses on her head, a white tank top, and jean shorts.
“Back at USC,” she wrote over the video in the school’s signature colors of red and gold.
KICK IT, CANCER!
The update comes just weeks after Michael’s daughter declared she was cancer-free.
Isabella shared a YouTube vlog titled Goodbye Hospital, where she said she had beaten brain cancer roughly eight months after being diagnosed.
“Everything was clear. Cancer-free and everything is great. I don’t have another doctor’s appointment until October,” she said.

Isabella had been documenting her cancer journey on the platform, giving followers updates on her chemotherapy journey and many surgeries.
She informed fans that she had her last chemo treatment in mid-June and said she was “grateful.”
“After the wildest 8 months, I finally got to ring the bell. Grateful for my journey,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
Shortly after, the 19-year-old was glowing in the Bahamas during a trip with her twin sister, Sophia.
