Michael Strahan’s daughter, Isabella, celebrated her official end of chemotherapy eight months after her brain tumor diagnosis.
The 19-year-old went into emergency surgery in October 2023 when doctors discovered medulloblastoma in her cerebellum. In the months that followed, Isabella has been receiving care at the Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in Durham, North Carolina.
Isabella has been documenting her wellness journey in a YouTube series since the initial diagnosis, and on June 14, she was happy to report that she finished her fourth and final round of chemo.
“This [has been] a long journey, but I made it,” she said in a video. “And now I have to recover and get back to my usual state, which is going to take a long time. But I’m done with treatments.”
To celebrate the milestone, friends, hospital staff, and family—including Michael Strahan—lined the halls of the hospital and tossed confetti as she made her way to ring a bell that signifies the completion of treatment.
