Isabella was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October 2023. According to the Mayo Clinic, medulloblastoma is “a cancerous brain tumor that starts in the lower back part of the brain” and “is most common in children.”

Since her diagnosis, Isabella has undergone numerous surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy. However, in July, she shared a YouTube video titled “Goodbye Hospital,” where she revealed the results of her latest MRI scans and announced she was cancer-free.
“Everything was clear. Cancer-free and everything is great. I don’t have another doctor’s appointment until October,” Isabella said in the video.
Isabella, who was receiving treatment at the Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in Durham, North Carolina, went on to say, “I miss my doctors already and everyone who’s helped me because they’re all so nice. I feel like I’m just saddened today knowing that I wasn’t gonna be going back for a while because I love them so much.”
