Isabella Strahan, daughter of Michael Strahan was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare type of brain cancer, last October. After months of battling the cancer, Isabella became cancer free in July. She has since been sharing her hair growth update with her followers.
The 20-year-old provided another update on her hair growth journey since her cancer treatment, showcasing the growth that she has experienced over the past seven months in a video shared to TikTok Nov. 14.
In the clip, which is set to “We Can’t Be Friends” by Ariana Grande, the University of Southern California student sings along to the lyrics “just want to let this story die” with a bald head before it cuts to recent footage of her with grown-in hair as she sings, “and I’ll be alright.”
Isabella captioned the post, “7 months ago vs now #slay #cancer #survivor
Her followers took to the comments section of the post to positively cheer her on. “God has performed another miracle,” one Tik Tok user wrote.
A second wrote, “I’m genuinely so proud of you and so happy for u!”. A third fan wrote, “Beautiful both ways. Cheering for you!”
Isabella talked about her battle with cancer and her recovery in an interview with Town & Country, published on October 29, where she told the publication, “I feel like I’ve grown in many ways, I’m super-grateful for walking and talking again. You don’t think of the things you can do until you live without them.”
During a January 2024 interview on Good Morning America, Michael and Isabella revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer in October 2023.
“It’s been, like, two months of keeping it quiet, which is definitely difficult,” Isabella Strahan said. “I don’t wanna hide it anymore ‘cause it’s hard to always keep in.”
The diagnosis forced her to leave the University of Southern California only a few months into her freshman year. Isabella has since undergone one initial emergency surgery, six weeks of radiation, four rounds of chemotherapy, as well as three other brain surgeries.
