The 19-year-old daughter of Good Morning America host and NFL hall-of-famer Michael Strahan, Isabella Strahan, has been battling brain cancer since last fall.
After being diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October and undergoing her first craniotomy that same month to remove the tumor, the 19-year-old shared she underwent another procedure and gave fans an update on how she’s doing.
“I’m in so much pain,” Isabella, who’s been documenting her journey, noted in a March 6 YouTube video that showed her lying in a hospital bed with bandages around her head after surgery, “and my head is wrapped like this. My face is extremely puffy, and this sucks. I was in so much pain earlier. I was like screaming. This is not fun.”
The teen also detailed what the procedure entailed. “They cleaned out my scar for, like, infection, and then they replaced my bone that they cut out of my skull originally with a titanium plate,” she continued. “So now, I’m part titanium.”
While hospitalized, Isabella underwent her first blood transfusion, had an MRI, and got her chemo port cleaned before she was finally able to go home—but she ended up having to come back sooner than she expected.
