Michael Strahan’s daughter, Isabella, is battling a malignant brain tumor known as medulloblastoma. An MRI scan led to the diagnosis in October 2023.Medulloblastoma is a cancerous and fast-growing brain tumor that develops in the cerebellum, the back of the brain where movement and coordination are controlled.The father and daughter pair revealed the emotional news during a “Good Morning America” segment with Robin Roberts on Thursday.“Today my daughter @IsabellaStrahan joined @RobinRoberts and myself for an interview about the journey she has been going through on @GMA,” he wrote via Instagram. “I love you Isabella and I’m always by your side.

To all sending love, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!”During the sit-down, the University of Southern California freshman revealed that she’s dealt with dizziness and it has been “two months of keeping it quiet, which has been difficult.”Isabella noted that she doesn’t want to “hide” her journey.

She underwent brain surgery in late October, followed by rehabilitation and six weeks of radiation treatment. In February, she will begin chemotherapy at Duke University, where her twin sister Sophia attends. “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 explained.The model, who recently launched a campaign with Sephora, is creating a YouTube series to document her experience, in partnership with Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center.“With my platform, I hope to just kind of be a voice and be a person who people who maybe are going through something similar, going through chemotherapy or radiation, can look at and just hear and just watch, or find something interesting.
