On “GMA,” Strahan divulged that his daughter was diagnosed in October 2023 with a malignant brain tumor known as medulloblastoma.

Isabella noted that she didn’t want to “hide” her journey anymore, and “didn’t notice anything was off ’til probably like Oct. 1.”

She said she had headaches, nausea and had a hard time walking. One day, she was vomiting blood and was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where she learned of the tumor. Later that month, she underwent brain surgery one day before her 19th birthday.

Next month, she will start chemotherapy treatments at her twin sister Sophia’s college, Duke University.

“I’m feeling good, not too bad. I’m very excited for this whole process to wrap but you just have to keep living every day through the whole thing,” she noted.

On Jan. 11, Isabella began a YouTube vlog channel where she hopes to detail her health journey. The channel was created in collaboration with Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center.

In her first video titled “How it started,” she revealed that she “knew something was wrong” when she traveled to New York for a modeling job, but had to cancel last-minute because she was too sick.

She initially thought she had vertigo “for the longest time.”

“It’s been rough. It’s been challenging. It’s been very hard. But I know time will heal and things will get back,” she noted. “I can’t really say normal because there’s no really a normal now in my life. But things will get back to being calmer.”
