early symptoms of her fast-spreading tumor. Fortunately, her attentive nature allowed her to recognize the initial symptoms, which she initially associated with vertigo.
“That’s when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn’t walk straight,” Isabella explained. Thanks to her quick response and timely medical attention, she was able to receive the necessary treatment. Other symptoms to look out for when it comes to medulloblastoma include head bobbing, confusion, and tiredness.
It is extremely important for Black Americans to act early when it comes to seeking treatment for these tumors. In a recent study, it was found that Black people with medulloblastoma brain tumors are at a higher risk of dying than people of other races.
To determine whether there is any growth present in the brain, a neurologist can schedule an MRI with you to be able to determine whether treatment is required. Like many other cancers, early detection is important.
Throughout this journey, she has expressed her unwavering focus on her ultimate goal, which is to overcome her illness and emerge stronger and healthier. “I’m very happy to finally heal my head after all of this because the side effects and everything get to you,” she shared.
Her sister Sophia has also expressed love and support in a separate Instagram post. She captioned a photo set with “I’m so lucky to have the most amazing sister and best friend in the world. The last few months have been so much harder than we could have ever imagined, but it’s made me realize just how strong you are. You inspire me and I’m so proud of you. Us forever 💞”
Wishing Isabella a speedy recovery and wishing her a bright future!
