Michael Strahan's daughter, Isabella, who is battling cancer, shared an update on her condition.

Isabella, 19, is suffering from memory loss due to her cancer medication. According to Strahan's child, she had a reaction to a drug given to protect her hearing, so she was given Ativan, a benzodiazepine medication for anxiety, trouble sleeping, severe agitation and active seizures. However, after that, she couldn't remember things.

"I don't remember Tuesday 'cause I'm given this drug to protect my hearing and just because I have a reaction to it, they give me Ativan," she said in a video posted on her YouTube channel Wednesday. "And for some reason -- this happened last time too -- I can't remember a single thing about that day."


The footage flashed back to a clip of Isabella in the hospital. She was saying that she was about to eat a sandwich but couldn't "remember ordering."

According to Medical News Today, some patients who take Ativan may experience memory loss. The outlet noted that the person taking the medication may have difficulty remembering things while taking the drug. But the memory loss is temporary and may go away when one stops taking the medicine. However, if the condition doesn't get better or becomes bothersome, one should talk to their doctor.


She also shared that she was excited because she only had "one more round" of chemotherapy.

"I'm just sitting on my couch now -- literally I just want it to be June already," she said. "I just wait around for the next time I get chemo and I'm kind of scared like, once I'm done, how am I gonna go back to normal life?"


Strahan and Isabella shared her cancer diagnosis in January.

"I didn't notice anything was off 'til probably like Oct. 1," she told Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America" at the time. "That's when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn't walk straight."

Isabella underwent several tests, and they found that she had a malignant brain tumor called medulloblastoma. She has been documenting her cancer battle on her YouTube channel.

In one video, she shared that she visited the emergency room due to a high fever. Her temperature was over 102 F degrees, and it was reportedly "the worst fever" she had.

"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," she said. "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."
