“I Thought about D3ath – Isabella Strahan, Daughter of GMA Host Michael Strahan, on Learning She Had Canc3r at Just 19 – A Moment that Shattered an American Icon – Yet Became a Touching Story of Father–Daughter Bond and Deep Lesson in Faith for the Community!
Isabella Strahan, 19-year-old daughter of TV host Michael Strahan, shared an emotional behind-the-scenes vlog about the day she went public with her br@!n tum0r diagnosis.
In her latest YouTube video, Isabella filmed her trip to Good Morning America for an interview with Robin Roberts, who’s also a c@nc3r survivor . “We’re on the way to GMA. I’m a bit nervous, but I hope it’ll be good,” she shared.
It had been years since Isabella was on set in Times Square. In the dressing room, her dad Michael Strahan stopped by, gave her a quick back rub and helped her with earrings. “I’m ready!” she smiled after finishing makeup. Passing a Black Panther poster, she laughed: “Look, I could be like Okoye!“
During the interview, Isabella recalled learning about a medulloblastoma in her cerebellum last October, right before turning 19, and undergoing em3rgency surgery at Cedars-Sinai. Afterward, she completed “30 s3ss!ons” of radiation over six weeks. “I got to ring the bell yesterday. It was exciting,” she said.
Michael Strahan, 52, opened up: “I literally think I’m the luckiest man alive. She’s going to crush this.“
Next month, Isabella will start ch3m0th3r@py at Duke Children’s Hospital, but she remains hopeful: “I just want to live every day and maybe be a voice for others going through this.“
