Hopefully, the family will experience more sweet moments in the future, free of medical woes. The doctor overseeing the treatment gave his prognosis on air following the interview, confirming Michael Strahan’s daughter had a high chance of total recovery. While the battle prevails, the teenager hopes to document more of her battle via her new YouTube series.
Following surgery to remove the golf-sized brain tumor, Isabella had a month of rehabilitation to relearn basic body functions. She also completed her radiation treatment in 30 grueling sessions and now focuses on commencing her Chemotherapy. This phase of her treatment which she hoped to complete at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center, Durham would hopefully set her on the path to complete remission.
