“After the wildest 8 months, I finally got to ring the bell. Grateful for my journey,” she captioned the post.
Earlier this year, on January 11, Michael and Isabella revealed on Good Morning America that she had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor known as Medulloblastoma. Initially dismissing symptoms like headaches and nausea, her condition worsened, leading to emergency surgery in late October. According to the Mayo Clinic, Medulloblastoma is a common and aggressive brain tumor that primarily affects children and develops in the cerebellum, located at the base of the skull. Following her diagnosis, Isabella underwent emergency surgery and began chemotherapy in February.
Throughout her treatment, Isabella has been documenting her journey through vlogs on her YouTube channel, offering a personal and inspiring glimpse into her battle and recovery. She has shared each progress and setback she’s encountered over the past few months, including a celebratory vlog marking the completion of her chemotherapy.
