Isabella Strahan, a 19-year-old USC student and daughter of “Good Morning America” co-host Michael Strahan, revealed Thursday she has been diagnosed with brain cancer.
Appearing alongside her father on “Good Morning America,” she told co-host Robin Roberts she had been diagnosed in October with medulloblastoma. She said she underwent emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to have a tumor removed, then began chemotherapy treatments that caused her to lose her hair.
In the interview, Isabella said she was “doing good.”
“I’m very excited for this whole process to wrap, but you just have to keep living every day,” she said.
According to the report, Isabella will be continuing her chemotherapy treatments at Duke University, where her twin sister Sophia is a student.
Her father, a former Super Bowl champion with the New York Giants, said he was confident his daughter would beat the illness.
“I know that we’re never given more than we can handle and that she is going to crush this as much as I need her,” he said. “I don’t know what I would do without her.”
