Isabella Strahan is heading back to college a month after learning she’s cancer-free.

On August 20, the 19-year-old daughter of Michael Strahan posted a selfie on her Instagram Stories alongside her mother Jean Muggli as she returned to school at the University of Southern California.

“Back at USC,” she wrote, smiling and winking at the camera.

The model also posted a video on TikTok dancing and jumping around her new off-campus apartment. “New apartment who this ‼️‼️” she captioned the clip.

Isabella’s freshman year at USC was cut short in October 2023 after having emergency surgery to remove a large medulloblastoma — a type of malignant tumor — in her cerebellum.

Following her cancer diagnosis, Isabella went through six weeks of radiation, four rounds of chemotherapy and three brain surgeries. She documented her entire health journey on her YouTube series.

Strahan also praised his daughter for making it through a difficult health journey.

Gran, 86, waits 25 hours in hospital corridor after heart attack - before giving up
An 86-year-old woman who had suffered a suspected heart attack waited 25 hours in a hospital corridor for a ward bed - before giving up and going home. Maria Bodea, 86, had a suspected heart attack failure at home and was taken to St Helier Hospital, Sutton, London, by ambulance. But there were no ward beds available and the gran-of-two was put on a trolley bed in a corridor with up to 20 others, her family say. Widow Maria and her daughter Sanda Ghiurcusor, 57, were stationed next to a door leading outside, forcing them to wear wooly hats to keep warm. A spokesperson for Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust said:   “While we always do our best for our patients, these are not the conditions we want to care for them in and we are really sorry that Mrs Bodea did not have a good experience. “When our services are exceptionally busy, as they are at the moment, we sometimes have to care for people in other areas of the hospital until a suitable bed becomes available - this is always only a temporary measure and patients are supervised by clinical teams at all times.”
