“The first thing that went through my mind was this must be a mistake. It didn’t seem real.” Those were Michael Strahan’s words after he found out that his daughter, Isabella Strahan, had medulloblastoma—a malignant brain tumor. After undergoing a number of surgeries and multiple rounds of chemo and radiation therapy, Isabella beat the cancer, and now she’s a cancer survivor.

But here’s the thing: Isabella never allowed medulloblastoma to define her. And now, she and her family are all set to open up about her fight against cancer in the upcoming documentary “Life Interrupted: Isabella Strahan’s Fight Against Cancer,” premiering Wednesday, February 5, at 10/9c on ABC. Speaking of which, ABC News hit up their official Instagram handle on Sunday and shared a clip from the documentary.

In the clip, Strahan’s ex-wife and Isabella’s mom, Jean Muggli, confessed the struggles and challenges Isabella faced after her surgery. “When she started standing up like she was gonna walk, I realized, ‘Oh, it’s hard for her to figure out to put her feet on the ground,”‘ Strahan’s ex-wife stated. In the shared clip, Isabella can be seen taking her first steps in rehabilitation following surgery for brain cancer.

Isabella’s family has been her rock throughout this journey. She shared that her mom stayed by her side, even sleeping at the hospital during her recovery after brain surgery. And then there’s her twin sister, Sophia—the first to notice something was wrong. She immediately stepped up and told her parents about Isabella’s condition. From the start, Sophia took it upon herself to take care and be there for Isabella, making sure she never faced this fight alone.

On the other hand, while recalling his difficult journey as a father, Michael Strahan also opened up about how tough it’s been watching his daughter go through this battle, saying. “It’s tough to see someone who is usually energetic, vibrant, just a lovely human, be basically incapacitated.”

Talking to the PEOPLE last month, Strahan also talked about his nervousness will never go away, saying, “Her doctors feel very confident, she’s going to be fine. That’s what we’re going to hold on to, but you’re nervous every time. That will never go away but as long as the results come back positive, then we’ll live to fight another day.” On top of that, he also recalled those tough days in the documentary and stated, “She wasn’t eating much. She was thin and tired and bald and all the things you hate to see your kid go through.” No wonder the NFL legend will never forget the past one and a half years.

While battling cancer, Isabella documented her journey and shared her vlogs on her YouTube channel to support people who are struggling with the same disease. Now, besides his family and friends, fans are also praying for Isabella’s speedy recovery.

Fans shower Michael Strahan’s daughter with love and support

As Isabella Strahan is gearing up to share her cancer journey with the world, fans are rallying around her with an outpouring of love and encouragement. Right after ABC News posted a short clip from the upcoming documentary, fans flooded the comment section with love and support for Strahan’s daughter. And honestly. That’s what she needs at this point.

One simple yet powerful word echoed through the comments: “Inspiring.” Totally understandable.

Another fan chimed in and shared, “Beautiful & so happy she’s doing great,” capturing the relief and joy that so many feel watching Isabella take her first steps in recovery.

On top of that, messages of blessings and prayers are pouring in as well. “Many blessings,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Prayers to this strong young lady.” Now, it’s safe to say that the support from strangers, friends, and fans alike is a testament to the impact Isabella had through her cancer battle.

Of course, concern still lingers, with one person commenting, “Hoping she is ok!” It pretty much looked like a sentiment from someone who followed her journey. And perhaps the most fitting tribute to Isabella’s spirit? “She’s so strong to fight through this.” Those words sum up everything about her journey.
