Dealing with a different set of symptoms than what she has become accustomed to since her brain tumor diagnosis, the 19-year-old model shared details in the latest installment of her YouTube series.

“I feel like every time I come here, I’ve got a different problem,” Isabella said, referencing her multiple trips back to the hospital since having emergency surgery in October last year to remove a medulloblastoma – a malignant brain tumor.

In Isabella’s latest vlog, she is wrapped in a cozy blanket undergoing her second round of chemotherapy at the Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in Durham, North Carolina. As a nurse is seen accessing the chemo port in her upper stomach, it prompts a conversation about needles.

“I feel like if you told me I’d be doing this back in the summer, I’d be like, ‘Pshh, I hate needles, what?’ This is my biggest fear. I hate needles,” she said. “But I guess I got used to them,” Isabella noted.

What Isabella can’t get used to though, is the completely different symptoms she’s dealing with recently.

“Last time it was my head,” she said in reference to her second craniotomy. “Now, I literally can’t walk without being lightheaded or out of breath.”

“These are completely opposite of symptoms,” she further explained. “At least when I wanted to cut off my head I could take pain medicine. Now, I can’t take anti-exhaustion medicine or something.”

There is a silver lining among the debilitating symptoms she’s experienced – the nausea has eased enough that she’s now “in the mood for food” and eating two full meals a day, the most she’s been eating per day in a long time.

Isabella also shared the preparation needed for one of the chemotherapy drugs. With her seated in a chair with her feet, and later her hands, in ice buckets, Isabella explained the reason.

“We’re icing my feet. It helps prevent neuropathy because Vincristine, one of the chemo drugs I get, that’s a side effect,” she said. “We’ve got the chemo bags of ice. So I’m gonna put my hands in here for a while.”

As we reported, Isabella’s second craniotomy took place early in March and it was an unexpected turn of events after she came down with a fever.

“I have a fever again. I got a fever, 102, and had to come back in. So, we’re trying to find out what’s wrong, but no one can find out what’s wrong. I don’t know, this is like the worst fever I think I’ve had,” she commented.

What began with a fever ultimately led to another medical intervention.

Isabella shared with her followers that her last-minute surgery involved draining fluid from the back of her head because her scar became infected in the process of healing from the previous procedure. She explained that while she would be under anesthesia, doctors would insert a needle into her head to carry out the drainage.

Clearly, this was not part of her plans for the day. The girl hadn’t anticipated returning to the hospital so soon.

“Very not what I planned to do because I didn’t plan on coming back,” she said. “So, going in for surgery. Wish me luck.”

Surgeons meticulously cleaned out Isabella’s scar for infection and replaced a section of her skull with a titanium plate. Upon waking up, she cracked a joke about being “part titanium,” yet beneath the humor, Isabella was truly in agony.

“I’m in so much pain, and my head is wrapped like this. My face is extremely puffy, and this sucks. I was in so much pain earlier, I was like screaming. This is not fun,” Isabella shared, her voice raspy with pain.

In her post-surgery vlog, she shared that her face was really swollen, and she felt terrible seeing herself in the bathroom mirror wearing a head wrap. No one had told her that she would have to wear it after the procedure was done. Comparing this time to her previous surgery, Isabella mentioned feeling less drugged up. Despite the pain, she stayed positive and grateful that she could still walk and talk.

Isabella mentioned that her second round of chemotherapy had been delayed by a week due to the unexpected craniotomy. She said that it would be “terrible” to undergo chemotherapy without giving herself enough time to heal completely.

Later, she was seen struggling to walk through the hospital, with one of her doctors assisting her.

“Hopefully, this is what was causing all my fevers and why I’ve been in the hospital for a week. Hopefully, I will get to go home soon after I heal from this,” she said.

With her dad and loved ones by her side, Isabella was recovering from the painful treatment. Her dad, Michael, was seated in an armchair in Isabella’s hospital room, waiting for his daughter to wake up. Slouched and tired, he continued to guard his daughter’s hospital bed, ready to be there for her whenever she needed him.

From unexpected surgeries to enduring chemotherapy, Isabella continues to battle cancer, sharing her journey for the world to see. She remains hopeful for a speedy recovery, supported by her family, including her father, Michael Strahan. Her vlogs tell a heartbreaking yet inspiring story, where a young 19-year-old girl keeps her head up through hardships and pain.

Isabella—diagnosed in October with medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer—has become a beacon of courage. As reported by her doting dad, her decision to document her journey is based on her desire to offer a message of solidarity and support for others facing similar battles.

Recently, Isabella was hospitalized following the commencement of a new chemotherapy treatment this month. Though the impact of Isabella’s health woes has not been easy on the teen or her family, her father remains a pillar of strength, drawing on the support of his co-hosts and the public alike.

The outpouring of upliftment from fans has been overwhelming, with many taking to social media to send prayers and good wishes Isabella’s way. Comments like “She is a true fighter! She will prevail! 💪🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼😍 The love is truly infectious. Beautiful family,” and“I love this girl and I have never met her. Prayers Isabella,” reflect the collective hope and affection from people touched by Isabella’s bravery.

Another supporter expressed their sorrow to see the 19-year-old face a challenging time in her life, stating, “Breaks my heart to see her going through this 🙏🏼.”

Isabella’s cancer journey, marked by vulnerability and tenacity, was documented in a video segment aired during the show. She provided an intimate glimpse into one of her chemotherapy sessions, revealing the “big bag of chemo” being administered and sharing her feelings of stress and worry about potential complications.

Visits from her twin sister Sophia Strahan, her mother Jean Muggli, and Michael’s girlfriend Kayla Quick during these sessions underscored the close-knit support structure holding her up. Michael’s touching visit, complete with Chick-fil-A treats and adherence to hospital safety protocols, highlighted the day-to-day moments of care and love that sustain Isabella through her treatment.

Further detailing her experience, Isabella shared insights into the aftermath of her hospital stay. She’s had physical discomfort and gave details about feeling pain in her jaw and tongue. Yet, amidst the challenges, she found solace in returning home, cherishing the simple pleasures of sleeping in her own bed and planning physical activities like walking and stretching.

Her candidness about preferring the safety of the hospital environment, yet enjoying the comfort of home, offered a nuanced view of the emotional landscape navigated by those undergoing cancer treatment.

As the Strahan family continues to face this challenge, the support and prayers from the public echo a collective wish for Isabella’s recovery. In sharing her story, Isabella Strahan reminds people of the empowerment found in being vulnerable and the power of community in the face of adversity.

Since announcing her brain cancer battle publicly, Isabella Strahan has been documenting her journey through YouTube videos. In her third vlog, she marked the conclusion of her challenging radiation treatments by ringing the victory bell at the hospital.

Michael Strahan’s daughter began the video with her morning routine, making her way to the hospital and filling out an electronic form. Many cheered for Isabella as she made her way through the hospital lobby.

As her session ended, Isabella was greeted by family and hospital staff, who cheered and clapped for her as she happily rang the victory bell. The teenager, dressed in a gray sweater and jeans, was all smiles while crying and hugging her dad.

The revelation of her cancer battle came earlier through an exclusive interview with Good Morning America, where she gave the public an insight into the challenges she faced and the strength she exhibited throughout the journey.

During the interview, Isabella Strahan talked about her medulloblastoma diagnosis in late October. The brain tumor, rare for those her age, is often found in younger children.

Then a freshman at the University of Southern California, Isabella started experiencing excruciating headaches that only worsened with time. After vomiting blood, Isabella realized that something was deeply wrong and sought medical attention.

After a series of tests, Isabella’s father was told of the diagnosis before she was. “I don’t really remember much,” Michael said. “I just remember trying to figure out how to get to LA ASAP. And it just doesn’t feel real. It just didn’t feel real.”

A day before her 19th birthday, Isabella underwent emergency surgery to remove the malignant mass. She had to relearn how to walk and was mostly asleep in bed. Still, she was surrounded by the best support system through her family and friends.

Isabella’s momentous decision to share her diagnosis publicly came as she wanted to emphasize the importance of raising awareness and offering support to others undergoing similar battles. In February, she will begin chemotherapy and continue her road to recovery.

“I don’t wanna hide it anymore ’cause it’s hard to always keep in. I hope to just kind of be a voice and be [someone] who people, maybe [those who] are going through chemotherapy or radiation, can look at,” Isabella said. Undoubtedly, Isabella has become a figure of hope to many with similar battles.

For several years, Tyne Daly and Georg Stanford Brown, two iconic stars, gave impactful contributions to Hollywood. These celebrities have also worked behind the camera as producers and writers, apart from being active on screen.

They passed down these unique talents to their children, who also strongly inherited some of their physical features. Brown and Daly, a one-time dynamic couple who let love transcend race, now have three remarkable daughters turned mothers. Here is everything to know about the family.

What Are Georg Stanford Brown and Tyne Daly Famous For?

The Cuban-Black native is an actor who began his career in the 1960s after appearing in the iconic comedy series “The Comedians” and “Rookies.” Some of his other famous works include “Roots,” “Bullitt,” and “Stir Crazy.”

Brown has many directorial credits to his name, and this earned recognition from fans and the movie world, giving him a spot on the Emmy nomination list several times. Daly is an actress and writer famous for scripting “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” She has also worked on “Judging Amy” and “Cagney & Lacey.”

What Did Daly Say about Her Former Marriage?

Daly and her husband understood the true meaning of love. While the system opposed it, they remained persistent in their quest to exchange their marital vows on June 26, 1966. It was a time when miscegenation laws were upheld in about seventeen states in the US—laws that prohibited Caucasians from marrying Blacks.

Not one to be deterred by societal norms, the pair tied the knot against all odds, and the year after, the Supreme Court ruled over a case known as Loving v. Virginia, taking the racist laws down.

In 1977, Brown recalled the time he and his wife appeared together on “The Rookies” and the bad reception they got because of their different races. During an episode of the series, the couple shared the first-ever on-screen interracial kiss.

The network censors sent a memo before the episode aired saying interracial kisses were still taboo. They demanded the kiss be deleted, but Brown and the team refused, and when it aired, no one made a big deal about it.

During a February 2022 interview, Daly revealed how she and Brown “had blinders” about the objections against interracial marriage and relationships when she was 19 and the actor was 21 and still courting. Therefore, their union wasn’t about policy or politics but about love and passion.

The actress confessed that she and Brown just got dragged into the political side of things. She said she is deeply appalled by the US’s insistence on promoting racism by making marrying someone of a different race an offense.

Daly believed the rule was fake, something that people who wanted more power over others made up to promote their agenda. The star feels the country is now swinging back to a time when hatred was popular.

However, Daly only had praise during her speech at her Broadway show in 2015 when she addressed the country’s Supreme Court’s decision to permit gay marriages. The actress concluded her speech by stating a quote she’d read from a newspaper that day:

“‘Hate is very strong, but love is stronger.’”

Brown and Daly’s Babies

Whether married or not, Daly and Brown have always been committed to their children with whom they share a great bond. Online, the writer often gushes about her girls and how proud she is to be their mother.

She shared a group picture with her daughters Kathryne Dora, Alisabeth, and Alexandra in 2018. The trio leaned close to their mother, who was dressed in matching outfits with two of her daughters. The doting mother captioned:

“All my women are mothers now! Wow.”

Brown is not left out of the equation, as he has a very close relationship with his girls and makes sure to care about all aspects of their lives, including their career paths. In an interview back in 2013, the actor and his daughter, Kathryne, who shares a similar passion with her famous father, had a heart-to-heart conversation.

The duo dialogued about their experiences in their field and how it felt to pursue a career in acting. Kathryne admitted that she drew her inspiration from her famous parents, and watching them perform helped her.

While other celebrities may not have a problem with being the perfect role model for their children, Brown and Daly did. They disapproved of their daughter’s career choice, but that does not mean they were not supportive.

Who Is Alisabeth?

Alisabeth is the couple’s firstborn. She’s a talented woman, but not many details about her have been made public. In 2018, a news page shared a cute picture featuring Alisabeth dressed in comfy attire with her face glowing with an infectious smile.

The woman had what looked like a vase in her hands, and there were several ceramic vases around her. The caption that accompanied the photo gave a classical detail of her profession. It read:

“Meet Alisabeth B Brown, potter and glassworker. She’s been making ceramics most of her life and just recently branched out into glass.”

More about Kathryne Dora Brown

Kathryne is the second child of her parents, and she takes after them in so many ways. The younger entertainer has exhibited her acting prowess in some hit films, and her works include “Poison Ivy II,” “The Reading Room,” and “Private Practice.”

She is also very active on social media. The actress loves to showcase her beautiful family, including two pretty and adorable young girls who stole her face and attitude.

Daly’s second daughter is also big on sharing happy family memories and doting on her own while appreciating those whom she holds dear. During Thanksgiving in 2019, the entire family came together for one big family gathering.

Kathryne ensured that she shared the memorable moments with her online audience by adding a family photo and the note:

“These people, they complete me #thanksgiving #grateful #family.”

The next year, she updated fans with a heart-warming post to honor her loved ones on Mother’s Day; this time, it featured throwback snaps of her mother, lovely sisters, and mini-mes backed up by a compelling message that read:

“I have deep gratitude being a mom. I feel so lucky and proud. Happy Mother’s Day to my Mommy, and to all the women throughout my entire life…and my sisters Alisabeth and Alyxandra.”

Kathryne’s post did not only focus on herself, but she also reached out to her audience who may not have a mother to celebrate, commending their existence and further asking those with mothers to honor the real-life superheroes.

The Youngest Sibling: Alexandra Brown

The youngest daughter, Alexandra, was born on October 2, 1985, at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center. According to her Instagram page—where she rarely posts photos of herself, but rather, her sweet creations—she “makes homemade treats with professional charm!” She is also a mother and welcomed a charming little princess in 2022.

What Netizens Said about Brown and Daly’s Family

Social media users who read about Daly and Brown‘s story online were in awe of them and their children. Facebook users had a lot to say about the former couple and their brood. One person called them a “beautiful” couple, children, and family, despite the pair not being together anymore, while another added:

“Beautiful young ladies!”

Although Brown and Daly aren’t together anymore, the former couple are still present in their children’s lives and are thriving separately.

In the serene landscapes of Norfolk, England, a story of resilience and private retreat unfolds, as Prince William and Princess Catherine, known affectionately as Kate, prepare to spend their Easter break away from the public eye at their country home, Anmer Hall. This decision comes on the heels of the heart-wrenching announcement that Princess Catherine has been diagnosed with cancer, an event that has led to an outpouring of support from across the globe.

The couple, joined by their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, has opted for the tranquility of their Norfolk residence over the traditional Easter service in Windsor, marking a poignant moment in their lives. Anmer Hall, a Georgian mansion nestled in the lush landscapes of Norfolk, stands as a testament to the couple’s love story, gifted by the late Queen Elizabeth II as a wedding present.

This 10-bedroom sanctuary, built in 1802, has been the backdrop for the family’s most intimate moments, away from the relentless gaze of public life. The mansion, which has undergone several renovations, the most recent in 2021 costing a reported £1.5 million, offers the Wales family a retreat to focus on recovery and togetherness in these trying times.

The news of Princess Catherine’s diagnosis has reverberated through the royal family and among royal watchers, prompting a recalibration of the family’s Easter plans. Instead of attending the high-profile Easter church service, the Wales family will embrace the solace of Anmer Hall, leveraging the healing power of privacy and the natural beauty surrounding them.

This decision underscores a profound moment of unity and support within the family, as they navigate through Catherine’s treatment and recovery process. A Kensington Palace spokesperson conveyed the collective spirit of resilience, stating, “The Princess will return to official duties when she is cleared to do so by her medical team. She is in good spirits and is focused on making a full recovery.

In the wake of this news, the couple was seen boarding a helicopter, marking their departure to Anmer Hall. This visual, captured against the backdrop of Windsor, epitomizes the journey ahead for the family — one of hope, healing, and privacy. The stunning Georgian mansion, with its rich history and serene environment, offers an ideal setting for the Princess to focus on her health, surrounded by her loved ones.

Catherine’s connection to Norfolk extends beyond the walls of Anmer Hall. Throughout her time in the region, she has been a familiar face in the local community, visiting businesses and engaging with residents in a manner that reflects her down-to-earth nature. From browsing at the Grapes Gallery in Snettisham to unnoticed visits to the Spar supermarket, Catherine’s presence in Norfolk has always been marked by a sense of normalcy and warmth.

Local business owners, like Rob Kerr of Grapes Gallery, fondly recall encounters with Catherine, highlighting her approachable demeanor. “She didn’t come across as the type of person who would expect people to say anything like that to her anyway. She was very down to earth,” Kerr shares. This sentiment is echoed throughout the community, with residents and business owners alike cherishing the moments they’ve shared with the Wales family.

Norfolk has provided a backdrop for the family to live a life marked by moments of normalcy and privacy. The region’s peaceful environment and friendly people make it an ideal place for the royals to raise their children, far from the prying eyes of the media. Local establishments, from the J.E. Howard butcher shop to the Church Farm bed and breakfast, have become part of the fabric of their daily lives, offering a glimpse into a world away from royal duties and public engagements.

As previously reported on March 22, 2024, Princess Catherine announced that she was diagnosed with cancer:

In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the United Kingdom and beyond, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has disclosed her diagnosis of cancer at the age of 42.

Less than an hour ago, Kate Middleton turned to social media and revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer. The announcement, made through a profoundly emotional video message, has unveiled a personal health battle within the royal family, marking a rare moment of vulnerability for the British monarchy.

The diagnosis follows what was initially deemed a successful major abdominal surgery in London in January, originally reported to address a non-cancerous condition.

However, post-operative tests unexpectedly revealed the presence of cancer, prompting an immediate commencement of preventative chemotherapy treatments for the Princess.

In her video message, Kate expressed gratitude for the support and understanding from the public, the great care she received from her incredible medical team, and the global community’s kindness.

The news arrives amid recent public sightings of Kate and Prince William, which showed no outward indication of the family’s private struggle. Kate’s candid disclosure underscores the challenges they have faced in coming to terms with the diagnosis.

This highlights the concerted effort to shield their young children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — from public scrutiny during this challenging time. The nature of Kate’s cancer remains undisclosed, with Kensington Palace urging respect for the family’s privacy and refraining from speculation.

As previously reported on January 29, 2024, the Princess of Wales was finally released from the hospital:

Kensington Palace shared an update on Princess Catherine’s recovery journey. The message posted to the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales reveals that Princess Catherine has returned to her home.

She is back at Windsor, where she continues to recover. From the statement, the public has been told that Princess Catherine’s recovery is progressing well.

Another part of the announcement read, “The Prince and Princess wish to say a huge thank you to the entire team at The London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided.”

At the end of the statement, the Royal family expressed their deep gratitude to the countless well-wishers worldwide who prayed and sent goodwill to the Princess and her family. The celebratory news comes just under two weeks after communication from Kensington Palace first made the public aware of Princess Catherine’s hospitalization and abdominal surgery.

Based on the recovery timeline given in that first statement concerning how long the Princess was expected to stay at The London Clinic, Princess Catherine is on track to making a full recovery. However, as it stands, she will still only resume her royal obligations — as the first statement mentioned — after Easter.

As previously reported on March 5, 2024, Princess Catherine had abdominal surgery and was recovering:

Amidst curiosity and concern for Princess Catherine’s health, the Palace assured the public of her steady progress, kindly requesting privacy during this time. However, people were still relieved to see pictures of the Princess near Windsor accompanied by her mother, after she was spotted for the first time in over two months since her surgery.

On Monday, near Windsor Castle, the Princess of Wales was seen sitting in the passenger seat of a black Audi SUV. Her mom, Carole Middleton, was driving, she looked relaxed, simply focusing on the road ahead. Trying to maintain her privacy, Princess Kate wore black sunglasses and let her hair down.

The palace announced that the Princess would be “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” which falls on March 31st this year. Until then, it seems like the Princess has decided to reside in their family’s residence, Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

Adelaide Cottage, nestled within the serene Windsor estate, is a perfect example of a quieter, more intimate side of royal living. Chosen by Prince William and his wife, this residence offers a stark contrast to their bustling London base at Kensington Palace.

The cottage, nearly 200 years old, is a perfect balance between elegance and simplicity. With classic marble fireplaces and a dignified facade, it is known for its historical charm.

The house offers the Cambridges a serene and private hidden place surrounded by nature. Away from busy loud London, and close to the Middleton children’s school, it is a perfect place to recover.
