Heavy Michael Strahan's daughter posted a new vlog.
Michael Strahan, who was a guest judge on season 32 of “Dancing With the Stars,” has been going through a tough time. In late 2023, his daughter, Isabella, 19, was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
At first, Strahan kept the news private, taking some time off of work without discussing what was going on. Now, however, he and Isabella have shared the news publicly. Heading into 2024, Isabella is preparing for the next steps in her treatment, which includes chemotherapy.
“I’m getting my port placed today, which is a device that goes on your chest for administering chemo, getting your blood drawn, all that fun stuff –– not excited,” she said in a YouTube video.
In the video, which was taken at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in North Carolina, Isabella shared that she doesn’t like needles and was very candid while being treated in the hospital ahead of her port surgery.
