Last month, Isabella sat down on Good Morning America with her host dad at her side to reveal she’s battling a brain tumor.
Since then, she’s been keeping fans updated with a YouTube vlog series.
On Wednesday, Isabella posted a new video from the Duke University Hospital Cancer Center in North Carolina.
“So I’m getting my port placed today, which is a device that goes on your chest for administering chemo [and] getting my blood drawn,” Isabella revealed from her hospital bed.
“All that fun stuff,” she said sarcastically, before adding, “I’m not excited.”
For the process, she had multiple loved ones by her side.
Though her dad, Michael, wasn’t in the video, Isabella’s mom and her dad’s girlfriend were both there to lend her support.
The college student gave them a shout-out as she showed them sitting by her side.
It was then time for Isabella to get an IV, and she looked away while breathing heavily as the doctor stuck her with the needle.
She screamed out in pain from the process and continued to grimace as the medical professional finished hooking up the saline to the IV.
“That’s a large needle,” the 19-year-old said as the doctor showed off the piece of equipment he’d stuck her with.
In caption over the video, Isabella admitted she was “glad that’s over.”
Afterward, she played card games as she waited around for the final procedures of her “busy day” – a kidney test, an EKG, a blood draw, and an MRI.
Once she finished all of the tests and surgeries for the day, Isabella enjoyed her favorite meal at Waffle House with her family, including her twin sister, Sophia.
Earlier this week, Isabella revealed she was preparing for the start of her chemotherapy by spending extra time with her family and friends.
“Since finishing radiation, I’ve been focusing on staying strong and healthy,” she added in a recent vlog.
She included clips of her on a beach vacation with her family, enjoying a karaoke session, and riding horses.
