Michael Strahan has been noticeably absent from his hosting gig on Good Morning America this week and it may have something to do with his daughter, Isabella.
Whit Johnson stepped in for Michael on Wednesday and Thursday’s shows at a time when his teen is facing a major milestone in her cancer battle.
Isabella, 19, is expected to undergo her last chemotherapy session at the start of summer and Michael will want to be right by her side when it happens.
At the end of May, Isabella updated fans on her Vlog when she threw a belated 19th birthday celebration for herself as she missed her big day last October while recovering from emergency brain surgery.
She also revealed on May 21, that she had undergone her third round of chemotherapy and that her next would be her last.
“Now I only have one round [of chemotherapy] to go, which is exciting,” Isabella said from her hospital bed at Duke University Hospital with her twin sister, Sophia and dad, Michael by her side.
“I’m kind of scared, once I’m done, how I’m going to go back to normal life,” she confessed. “Because I feel like there’s always going to be another treatment or something I have to do. But that’s a later problem. Otherwise, I’m doing good.”
She was initially going to have six rounds of chemo but it was reduced to four.
It was at the end of last year, that Michael stepped away from his hosting duties to take care of a personal situation in his family.
In a joint interview with Isabella, they then revealed she was battling cancer.
Isabella, who started college at University of Southern California in Los Angeles last fall, was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in late October.
Doctors discovered a fast-growing 4-centimeter tumor – larger than a gold ball – in the back of her head and she underwent emergency surgery to remove it.
Isabella has been undergoing treatment since the beginning of the year with the support of her family all the way.
What's Up Today Editorial Team
Hope she has a full recovery! My wife is being treated for cancer.
I’m very sorry to hear about your daughter. I know news like this is devastating when it concerns a family member, especially your child.
I wanted to talk to you about personal involvement I have with this subject and what my research turned up when I started investigating how to fight this.
My wife was diagnosed 2 years ago with an aggressive form of Breast Cancer.
We were devastated when we got the news. I would not take this as a final diagnosis and I began researching avenues we could take for treatments.
I discovered a company, Brightwork Research in Nevada that does all types of medical research and looks into various medical research papers and studies performed around the world.
I noticed there were multiple studies performed on Ivermectin throughout Europe by very reputable physicians and institutions. Ivermectin has been PROVEN to actually CURE breast cancer and many other forms of cancers, including Lung, Brain, Lymphomas and many, many more CARCINOMAS.
The PHARMACEUTICAL companies in America blackballed the reporting of these findings in Europe due to how cheaply you can purchase Ivermectin and how much money they make when using Chemotherapy and other medical ONCOLOGICAL METHODS they AGGRESSIVELY push for use here in America.
The studies were so compelling that when we presented them to my wife’s Surgeon, she was amazed that the medical profession here in America has not been informed of the results of these researchers. She said she would look into it and let me wife know what she thought at her next visit.
Upon returning to her Surgeon several weeks later, she told me wife that she was astonished to read the research reports from other countries. She felt betrayed by our Medical Society for never hearing about how wonderful the results were in treating Cancer. And it was done with IVERMECTIN, the drug OUR MEDICAL EXPERTS degraded and discouraged the use of during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even Chris Cuomo finally admitted that he used Ivermectin routinely to combat Covid. My wife’s Physician is now a firm believer in the miracle drug. When it was discovered, both of the physicians who discovered it won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for its discovery. Please, don’t disregard what I am telling you. Research it yourself. If you would like, my e-main address is sdneil1923@gmail.com. Contact me and I would be more than willing to discuss this further with you. Please don’t wait too long to decide to look into it as we all know, time is of the essence when dealing with this condition. Good Luck and may God Bless your daughter.
