An emotional Isabella Strahan cried as she rang the bell following her last radiation treatment.

The 19-year-old daughter of former NFL pro Michael Strahan gave her YouTube vlog viewers an intimate look on the day she wrapped a major portion of her brain cancer journey.

“I’m very excited to finally be done,” the USC student shared in the third installment of her YouTube series, which will benefit Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in North Carolina, where she will start chemotherapy in February.

“It’s been a long six weeks and I’m very happy to finally heal my head after all of this because the side effects and everything get to you.”

Isabella completed her radiation at the New York Proton Center where her family — including her twin sister, Sophia — joined her with flowers and balloons to mark the huge moment.

“So excited to ring that bell… Never thought I’d be ringing the bell,” she said as she let tears fall down her cheeks.

The model and her family continued the celebrations with lunch at Bua Thai in the Upper East Side where she munched on pad thai.

Isabella revealed last week in an emotional “Good Morning America” interview with her father, 52, that she underwent emergency surgery in October 2023 to remove a medulloblastoma — a type of malignant tumor — in her cerebellum.

Isabella has shared intimate photos and footage of herself in the hospital, going for radiation and even celebrating her birthday while unconscious.

She also shared with her followers that her first priority before starting radiation and chemotherapy was her fertility.

The teenager had to relearn how to walk following the surgery.

“Since chemo and radiation can affect my fertility, my first step was egg freezing,” she explained in her vlog.

“That was not fun for me. At all,” she continued while sitting alongside Sophia, and her dad’s longtime girlfriend, Kayla Quick.

Quick, 33, chimed in that Isabella “hated” the hormone shots that are administered ahead of the procedure.

“I am not a big needle person,” the teenager continued. “I’ve gotten used to my blood and IVs, but shots? That was rough.”

Isabella explained she had to get three shots in her abdomen every day for about a week and it “hurt so bad.”

She had her eggs retrieved on Thanksgiving 2023.
