WASHINGTON — Isabella Strahan, the 19-year-old daughter of "Good Morning America" host Michael Strahan, shared a major health update this week.
In a YouTube video titled "Goodbye Hospital," the 19-year-old revealed she is cancer-free. The announcement comes months after she revealed she had been diagnosed with a brain tumor called medulloblastoma.
Since sharing her diagnosis in January, she has been documenting her cancer journey through a YouTube series. In her latest video, the 19-year-old films her last doctor's appointment as well as her final MRI scan.
"Great scans, everything was clear. Cancer-free," she said. "Everything is great. I don't have another doctor's appointment until October."
She added that she "missed my doctors already, and everyone who helped me because they're all so nice."
"I feel like I'm just saddened today knowing that I wasn't going to be going back for a while because I love them so much," she said.
The 19-year-old, who had been getting treated at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center, finished her chemotherapy last month.
In an Instagram post shared on Father's Day by the NFL Hall of Famer, Isabella is seen ringing the bell as her family cheers her on.
"@isabellastrahan you are a SUPERWOMAN! Ringing that bell finishing chemo and on your way! " the "Good Morning America" host said in his caption. "You continue to fight with a smile on your face, strength, and determination. I am one proud Dad! Love you, Bella ❤️❤️"
While revealing her diagnosis in a January GMA segment, the 19-year-old said she initially shrugged off the symptoms as vertigo. It wasn't until last October when her health took a turn.
"I woke up, probably at like 1 p.m., I dreaded waking up, but I was throwing up blood," Isabella said.
Strahan said that was the moment the family urged her to seek medical attention. Doctors later found a 4-centimeter tumor in the back of her brain — larger than the size of a golf ball.
After a surgery to remove the fast-growing tumor, Isabella underwent rehabilitation and a series of radiation treatment. Her twin sister Sophia even helped her learn to walk again.
