Isabella Strahan enjoyed a belated birthday celebration with her twin sister, Sophia Strahan, and dad Michael Strahan on her new vlog.
Isabella Strahan wants a do-over! The 19-year-old daughter of Michael Strahan is currently battling brain cancer and shared in her recent vlog that her health struggles caused her to miss an important milestone.
As Isabella shared footage of herself and her friends making cupcakes, she revealed that back in October 2023 she missed celebrating her 19th birthday due to being unconscious at the time.
"We're doing a little birthday celebration because I was not conscious for my 19th birthday," Isabella explains in the video before the footage cuts to her in the hospital on her actual 19th birthday with balloons and decorations. "So we're doing a little birthday about six months later."
Isabella and her twin sister, Sophia Strahan, ring in their birthdays a second time with their proud dad, Michael, popping in for part of the "Happy Birthday" song.
Isabella was first diagnosed with brain cancer in October ahead of her and Sophia's Oct. 28 birthday. She underwent her first of three surgeries at the time.
Isabella is anxiously awaiting her final round of chemotherapy in June, and previously expressed her nerves.
"I just want it to be June already. That's the thing, I just wait around for the next time I get chemo," she said in a recent vlog. "I'm kind of scared once I'm done how I'm going to go back to normal life, because I feel like there's always going to be another treatment or something that I have to do. I don't know. But that's a later problem. Otherwise, I'm doing good."
Isabella first revealed her brain tumor battle in January, three months after doctors found medulloblastoma, a fast-growing four-centimeter tumor in the back of her brain.
"I don't wanna hide it anymore 'cause it's hard to always keep in," Isabella said during an interview on Good Morning America. "I hope to just kind of be a voice, and be [someone] who people, maybe [those who] are going through chemotherapy or radiation can look at."
Since then, Isabella's been candid about the challenges of her treatment. She's shared videos from the hospital, discussed the pain she's in, and been real about her setbacks, including two unexpected surgeries.
