Isabella, my son was diagnosed with medullablastoma in 1990 at age 14 1/2. He will celebrate his 49th birthday in May. Be strong. You can do this!!

My child was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this summer, as I sat here in tears every word cuts deep into my soul. God bless everyone battling cancer out there.

I am an oncology nurse and this is very emotional. I love her strength and her courage, that smile… wow.

Hi Isabella,
I was also diagnosed with a brain tumor/cancer (ependymoma) at 32 years old on August, 2022. I also completed rehab and 6 weeks of radiation therapy. I have been cancer free since then. Watching your interview felt like you were telling my story. Just know that things will get better and that God will always have you in the palm of His hand. We’re a living testimony! I’m so glad you’re doing well. God bless you!

I was also diagnosed with brain cancer in my freshman year at college. It was definitely not easy, as you know, but I had brain surgery followed by radiation therapy to help "kill" the part that couldn't be removed with surgery- but it finally died a couple of years later and has stayed dead for the past 12 years! You got this, girl! And you look BEAUTIFUL!!!!

As a 24 year old CURRENTLY battling a cancer commonly found in children at this very moment, I am SOBBING. Isabella, you are beautiful. You are seen. You are felt & you are loved. Know that you are strong, but also know that you do not always have to be that way. Cry. Scream. Feel. You deserve to feel every emotion there is without judgement. I love you! I am with cheering you on whilst running right beside you. Let’s win together! 🎗️

I was crying from the jump. She seems very brave and is facing her treatment head-on. I am surprised Michael made it through the interview. without breaking down.

[sememmer]

I can tell she is soooo scared and I know her dad and family wish they could take all her pain away. Isabella, keep being you and know now you have millions of prayers and voices to lift you up when you can't do it for yourself. We love you!

Exact same story here in our family. Our 8th child, our 11 yr old son, was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. He’s 29 now. I’m in tears 😭 YOU GO GO GO, sweet Isabella ❤ rooting for you over here in Japan 🇯🇵, way across the ocean!!

I’m a hospice nurse. The hardest thing is when cancer touches a life so young. I cry. I pray. I’m human first and a nurse second. This story touched me on so many levels. You are strong honey girl! You’ve got family blood and otherwise take it one day one step at the time.

[monicagilliam]

I had a brain tumor 18 years ago. I understand her journey. Stay prayed up. You can make a "Difference" to someone. I had a MRI last February and I'm "Great!" Thank you Jesus ❤ Keep Believing Isabella. You have an "Awesome testimony."

[bpxlyewz]

What a sweet girl. I cried every time she started to.

[gabesander]

As an 18 (M) twin I was diagnosed with the exact same type of cancer Medulloblastoma in 2020. I’ve been there you’ve got this! Took a tough year and a half but you’ll get there. Looking back it feels like it went so quick but when going through treatment seems to drag on.

[Noneofyourbizniz]

I’m a grown ass man sobbing for her and her family but that’s ok. Emotions are not sign of weakness, it’s a sign of compassion and empathy. I felt her bravery and courage. Live life to the fullest people. Appreciate and love the people and things right in front of you.

[AvaCollins-mw]

I have brain cancer and had surgery in May and this is the first time I’ve heard someone talk about this so candidly, thank you it meant more than I can express 😢

[JaxonsmomCourtney]

She had the perfect person to interview her…someone who could empathize due to her prior battle with cancer. Prayers for everlasting remission!

[cynthiadzurko]

Stay positive Isabella! I have been a 21-year brain -tumor/cancer survivor. Still going strong. Surround yourself with positive people who support your journey. You are a Brain Tumor Warrior. My prayers will be with you and your family.

My sister was given 8 months, she has glioblastoma multiforme. She just celebrated her 2 year anniversary! Great family support and great doctors! You have both and you can win this battle!!!

[kookykreek]

What a true inspiration for anyone with cancer. Sharing her story on TV without a head cover, more power to her! So proud of her. I wish her complete healing.

[latishasmith]

I wish I could speak with both Strayhand and his Daughter. I and my family just went through this in May 2023! You got this baby girl l! I'm a living testimony
