What is the documentary about?
The documentary revisits Isabella's fight with medulloblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer found in children and young adults. In her January 2024 appearance, Isabella shared that she began experiencing what appeared to be minor symptoms: headaches and nausea as well as difficulty in walking when she was a freshman.
Her condition turned worse, as the 4-centimeter tumor was found inside her cerebellum, the part of the brain where balance and coordination are processed.
She started multiple surgeries and an intensive treatment regimen, which included chemotherapy and radiation therapy at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University.
Isabella also chronicled the whole journey via a series of vlogs on YouTube to spread awareness and build solidarity among many patients facing battles like hers, relating the horrors of brain cancer treatment, little victories, and even setbacks.
In June 2024, she received life-changing news—Isabella was declared cancer-free. Furthermore, by August 2024, she had returned to USC to continue her studies with an entirely new lens on life.
