Isabella Strahan admits feeling “jealous” of her twin sister, Sophia Strahan, when she had to undergo treatment for cancer
Last month, Michael Strahan’s 20 year old daughter, Isabella Strahan, appeared on the podcast, Beyond The Battlefront, where she recalled the emotional impact of cancer on her mental health, and this included comparing her life to her sister’s.
Isabella Strahan said, “I’d just be looking at everyone’s stories, doing everything. I think the biggest part was seeing my sister, like, ‘Oh, she’s in the Bahamas on spring break and doing all this fun stuff.”
She added, “I was like, ‘Well, I’m sitting in a house.’ I think it was more just like not even seeing people. Just knowing everyone’s life continued, right?“
Isabella Strahan had just started attending classes in the University of Southern California when she was not feeling too well.
In her recently released documentary, Life Interrupted: Isabella Strahan's Fight Against Cancer, she had first spoken about her symptoms of nausea and vomiting to her twin sister, Sophia Strahan.
It was Sophia Strahan who encouraged Isabella Strahan to go for a blood test that ultimately helped her in detecting cancer cells in her body. The then 18 year old fought a pretty tough battle against the painful disease and was ultimately able to beat it.
