Michael Strahan's daughter Isabella reveals she's cancer-free: 'Everything is great'
The 19-year-old, who was diagnosed with brain cancer last year, posted a vlog revealing the news.
Isabella Strahan is officially cancer-free.
Good Morning America host Michael Strahan's 19-year-old daughter revealed the news on Thursday in a new vlog in her YouTube series where she's been documenting her recovery from emergency surgery in October 2023 to remove a large medulloblastoma (a malignant tumor) in her brain.
The new video, "Goodbye Hospital," followed Isabella at the Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center in Durham, N.C., after having her chemotherapy port surgically removed, then as she got her final MRI and reviewed the scans with her doctor where she discovered she was cancer-free eight months after her initial diagnosis.

"It was a great, great scan," Isabella says in the video. "Everything was clear. Cancer-free and everything is great. I don’t have another doctor’s appointment until October."
She was smiling as she revealed the news, but she also admitted she was also going to miss all her doctors now that she won't see them as often.
"I miss my doctors already and everyone who's helped me because they’re all so nice," she says. "I feel like I’m just saddened today knowing that I wasn’t gonna be going back for awhile because I love them so much. That was my last hospital vlog until October."

Earlier in the vlog, Isabella said she was in a lot of pain after having the port in her neck and stomach removed. She also had to keep an IV needle in her hand but ended up having to get another IV needle put in, which made her cry.
"My side hurts a lot. It feels like I got stabbed," she says. "I was like, 'Oh it doesn’t hurt that much,' I think it’s because all of the stuff wore off ... I can’t stand up straight. I also feel like the tube was going into my heart because my heart started cramping. I don’t know if that’s supposed to happen but it's not enjoyable ... It definitely doesn’t feel great."

Last month, Isabella celebrated reaching the end of her last round of chemotherapy "hopefully ever."
"Jealous of people who don't have to do this, but at least it's almost over and pray for those who have to go through it," she said in a vlog. She noted that the treatment had affected her physically, adding, "My legs are already feeling weak and it's hard to move around, so that’s my update."
