Isabelle was first diagnosed with medulloblastoma at eight years old in August of 2021. At that time, she faced headaches and vomiting that led her family to seek answers. After surgery, 30 rounds of proton therapy, and four rounds of chemotherapy, she was cancer-free for nearly three and a half years.
Just two days ago, her family received the unexpected news that Isabelle’s latest MRI shows a new tumor, a relapse with no symptoms leading up to it. The path ahead is uncertain, and her family is preparing for what comes next.
During her initial treatment, her family had to make enormous sacrifices. Isabelle’s mom spent nearly seven months away from her other two children while she received care in San Diego. Their lives have been forever changed by her diagnosis, and although they try to live each day to the fullest, the news of this relapse has left them devastated.
Isabelle’s personality shines through even in the hardest moments. She is hilarious, blunt, and refreshingly honest, saying exactly what she thinks. She loves playing Cookie Run Kingdom, singing, and spending time with her friends and little sister. Her spirit is bold, her heart is brave, and she has a resilience beyond her years.
Her family hopes to capture these moments with family photos, knowing that Isabelle still has a long, hard fight ahead, but believing that if anyone can face it, it is her.
