She will be starting her chemotherapy in February at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center in Durham, North Carolina.

Isabella Strahan opens up on challenging months ahead of chemotherapy

Isabella who has been documenting her health journey through her YouTube series titled 'How It Started' shared in her first vlog that she has not been feeling like herself after treatment and that her health battle has been challenging.

"I just had a Sephora ad come out that I shot in May 2023. So it’s super exciting but I remember being so excited to go to the store and take a selfie with it and I can’t do that right now because I don’t really feel like myself or that person in the ad,” she shared.



 

"These past two months, it’s been rough," Isabella added.

"It’s been challenging and it’s been very hard but I know I’ll get through it. I know time will heal and things will get back to being — I can’t really say normal because there’s not really normal now in my life, but things will get back to being calmer."

Speaking about her six-week radiation procedure, Isabella said, "It’s been a long six weeks and I’m very happy to finally heal my head after all of this because the side effects and everything get to you."

In her vlog about her last radiation, Isabella expressed her gratitude to her loved ones. 



 

"So excited to ring that bell… Never thought I’d be ringing the bell,” she said after cheerfully ringing the bell after her final day of radiation at the New York Proton Center, according to People.
