Newsy
Isabella Strahan, 19, said she started experiencing headaches, which prompted her to seek medical attention.
ABC "Good Morning America" host Michael Strahan's daughter Isabella Strahan revealed on her father's show Thursday morning that she was diagnosed with a rare tumor in her brain.
Strahan, 19, said she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in late October, about a month after she started experiencing headaches. She had just started her freshman year at USC, she said.
"I didn't notice anything was off till probably like Oct. 1," she said in an interview with her father's co-host Robin Roberts. "That's when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn't walk straight."
She said she underwent surgery on Oct. 27 to have the tumor removed. She then had to relearn how to walk and underwent a month of rehabilitation and multiple rounds of radiation, "Good Morning America" reported.
"She was heavily medicated, as you could imagine," Michael Strahan said on "GMA." "But she would have conversations. She had a lot of her friends and they would come over just to sit with her. And there were times when she was in a lot of pain. She was sleeping a lot."
