What did Isabella Strahan said in her new YouTube clip?

In the vlog, the daughter of Michael Strahan updated, “My head hurts, I have ice on my head. I feel like I’m having a heart attack. My heart hurts,” she said.

“Everything hurts. My eyes are strained, they hurt to look to the sides,” the 19-year-old continued.



 

 

“My whole mouth feels like I got one giant root canal of my whole mouth. Every single tooth, just ripped out and not even surgically put back in. My jaw hurts, the bottom of my tongue hurts. It hurts when I gulp water” Isabella said in the clip.

Presently going through treatment at North Carolina at the Duke University Hospital, she said, “I would prefer radiation now, thinking back on it. And I did not like radiation so… I would say I prefer brain surgery too but that might be extreme.” “I don’t know, this one’s just the longest journey,” she added.

Isabella Strahan says she now prefers radiation treatment over chemotherapy

The chemo treatment began a couple of weeks ago after six weeks of radiation therapy. Isabella went through an emergency surgery in October to get rid of a a large medulloblastoma — a type of malignant tumor — in her cerebellum, as per People.

“I think it just stresses me out because so much could go wrong,” Isabella said, adding “Like oh no, my heart hurts. That could mean I’m having a heart attack. Or my eye is strained, what if my eyes stop working? Or what if my teeth just rot and fall out? I don’t know. Everything you probably could think of possible.”



 

 

Staying positive despite all the pain, she is relieved to be back home, “Personally I don’t mind the hospital too much because I feel safe, but I do like being home,” she said.

In her previous vlog, Isabella said, “I just got my big bag of chemo,” she quipped before sharing that the drugs have been “running for six hours.”

“I’m stressing myself out because I feel like everything could just go wrong with me at any moment,” she said, adding “I don’t know, I'm just so terrified that my leg is going to start twitching, or what if my organs just shut down?”
