Amid her ongoing battle with brain cancer, Michael Strahan's daughter Isabella disclosed she visited a hospital emergency room twice, with one resulting in a last-minute surgery to drain fluid from her head.

The 'Good Morning America' host disclosed a recent "rough setback" that required his daughter to visit the ER again amid her ongoing chemotherapy treatment after her diagnosis of medulloblastoma, a rare manifestation of brain cancer.

Medulloblastoma is a "cancerous brain tumor that starts near your brainstem, in your cerebellum," the Cleveland Clinic reported. "The tumor is fast growing and can spread to other areas of your brain and spinal cord. Medulloblastoma is more common in children than adults. "

In the past month, Isabella, 19, discussed the discovery of a tumor surpassing the size of a golf ball located at the rear part of her brain, prompting an urgent call for emergency surgery.

Isabella had been chronicling her courageous health journey through a series of YouTube vlogs.

In a recent video, Isabella revealed she visited the emergency room after a high fever surpassed 102 degrees. The difficulties she encountered led her to undergo a crucial emergency surgical procedure, targeting the removal of excess fluid accumulating in her head.

"This is the worst fever I think I've had," she said in an online video. "I don't feel as horrible as I did the first time. I just have a really bad headache so I thought nothing of it and now we're in the ER. I don't feel great. I don't feel horrible. I've felt worse but I don't feel good. I feel like I can barely walk now."

"I have surgery last minute now to drain fluid from the back of my head," she said in her YouTube vlog. "So they're just going to stick a needle in my head and drain it."

In reference to her first round of chemotherapy in a Feb. 21 vlog the brave teen said: "The first week in the hospital was horrible. The first day was fine, I could still eat. But it just felt weird getting, I don't know, you don't really think you're going to get like poison put through your body. I don't know, not fun. I'm very achy now."

Strahan, 52, spoke about supporting his daughter on a Feb. 21 episode of 'GMA.'

"I had to take her to the hospital and thought she'd come home a few hours later," he said. "...It's been three days, but hopefully she'll be home today."
