Michael Strahan shares sweet video of daughter Isabella playing with twin sister and dog amid brain cancer battle
Michael Strahan shared a sweet video of his daughter Isabella amid her brain cancer battle.
In the clip, the 19-year-old laughed and played with her twin sister, Sophia, and their dog, Enzo, as a voiceover said, “Have you ever just looked at someone and say, ‘So this is what love looks like?'”
After Isabella placed her hand on her sister’s, their furry friend added his.
“These three are amazing but who is my favorite🤔? LOL❤️❤️,” Strahan, 52, captioned the post.
Isabella commented, “I’m your favorite don’t lie.”
Several fans expressed their happiness to see Isabella smiling despite her recent health struggles.
“Love seeing Isabella laughing!” commented one user.
“Your daughter looks so healthy and 😊 prayers for all of you my brother 🙏🏿,” added another.
“Love the smiles and laughter. Praying for continued health and healing. To God be the Glory,” said a third fan.
“I’m so glad Isabella is happy 😊 that’s helps with her healing.❤️🙏,” wrote fourth person.
In January, Isabella and the “Good Morning America” host, who is also dad to daughter Tanita, 32, and son Michael Jr., 29, announced she had been diagnosed with brain cancer.
“I didn’t notice anything was off ’til probably like Oct. 1,” the model told Robin Roberts on “Good Morning America” at the time.
“That’s when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn’t walk straight.”
After undergoing several tests, doctors discovered Isabella had a malignant brain tumor known as a medulloblastoma.
Since her diagnosis, the teen has been documenting her painful journey through chemotherapy and radiation on her YouTube channel.
In February, she said “everything hurts” as she recovered from chemo at home.
“My eyes are strained. They hurt to look to the sides. My whole mouth feels like I got one giant root canal of my whole mouth of every single tooth and just ripped out and not even surgically put back in,” she added.
“My jaw hurts, the bottom of my tongue hurts when I gulp water.”
And in April, Isabella emotionally revealed that she had to undergo a third craniotomy after developing a fever.
“It’s not as bad as the first time but I’m really in pain. They do give me pain medicine … they don’t work that well on me. So I’m in a lot of pain,” she told viewers before bursting into tears.
The University of Southern California student has also decided to freeze her eggs because chemo and radiation can affect fertility.
