Michael Strahan's daughter Isabella enjoyed a sunny pool day with her twin sister Sophia after battling brain cancer.
19-year-old Isabella, who recently revealed she had undergone her latest radiation treatment, looked in good spirits as she posed with her sister in a cute black and red cherry print bikini and a straw hat.
Sophia, who wore a purple bikini, shared the snaps on her Instagram page with the caption: “We again.”
She also shared a clip of the pair cooling off in the pool, with Isabella revealing her shaved head after recently admitting she struggled to look at herself in the mirror when her hair fell out during radiation treatment.
The University of Southern California freshman was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October after she began suffering from “excruciating headaches” and woke up vomiting every morning.

The girls appeared to be having a great time together, and Sophia flashed a peace sign at the camera in a snapshot.
“I love you,” Isabella commented on her sister's post, before adding pointedly, “Livin.”
“I love you too,” her twin wrote back.
Many comments expressed joy at seeing the sisters together.
“So happy to see you both together and prayers up ladies!”
“Glad to see you both smiling,” another added.
Last week, Isabella shared footage of the heartfelt moment she underwent her final radiation treatment and broke down in tears – as her father and mother put their feud aside and reunited to celebrate the milestone of her brain tumor battle.
After six weeks of treatment, GMA host Isabella, 52, and her 57-year-old mother Jean Muggli were able to “ring the bell” – a tradition practiced by cancer patients to mark the end of their chemotherapy or radiation – rebuilding their broken relationship, after learning of their teenager's diagnosis – they cheered.
She revealed she was looking forward to “healing her head” as she walked viewers through her final radiation treatment, with both her family and nurses rallying behind her with hugs and applause.

“I love you,” she added, to which her twin wrote back, “I love you too.”
In the clip, posted to her YouTube channel, Isabella wore jeans and a sweater as she revealed that she previously had to wear a “metal gown” during treatment.
Before heading to the hospital, she said: “It's been a long six weeks and I'm very happy that my head is finally healed after all of this because the side effects and everything else is tough on you.”
She revealed that she would have her entire crew with her to cheer on the celebratory moment – adding that sister Sophia, Michael and Jean would all be in attendance.
After arriving at the New York Proton Center in Harlem with her family, she checked in and entered the room for her final round of treatment.
When she was finished, she walked out and was greeted with applause by her family and nurses.
Jean and Michael – who went through a “terrible divorce” in 2006 – came together and filmed the tearful moment before hugging their daughter.
Isabella broke down in tears before admitting that she “never thought I would ever ring the bell,” a tradition that began in 1996 when U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Irve Le Moyne decided to attend his final treatment to bring a brass bell, in keeping with the Navy tradition of ringing a bell “when the job is done.”
The family celebrated by eating some Thai food before ending the video with some thoughts about bedtime.

The University of Southern California freshman was diagnosed with medulloblastoma after suffering from “excruciating headaches” (seen by her father).
After six weeks of treatment, Isabella was able to “ring the bell” with the 52-year-old GMA host and her 57-year-old mother Jean Muggli by her side.
Although Michael and Jean went through a tough legal battle after their divorce, they are now trying to mend their relationship for the sake of their daughter.
Just last week, an insider exclusively revealed to how his daughter's ongoing ordeal, despite the pain, has helped heal his fractured relationship with his ex-wife – with whom he shares Isabella and Sophia.
“Michael hasn't had an easy time dealing with this,” the source told .
“He was a wreck when he first found out, just like any parent.
“He's leaned on his close friends, including those on GMA, and he's doing his best to be strong for them, but it's not easy.”
The insider continued: “He has moments of complete breakdown.” Fortunately, this type of cancer has a relatively high five-year survival rate. It depends on the treatment.
“He holds on to hope and has received so much support from his GMA family.”
Revealing how the devastating news brought the former athlete and his ex-wife together, the insider continued: “Despite his terrible divorce from his ex-wife Jean, the two have come together and put their differences aside to be there for Isabella .” This made Michael more appreciative and grateful.”
Michael married Jean in 1999, but their marriage collapsed after seven years. A heated legal dispute ensued in which Jean filed a complaint of domestic violence against Michael – which he rejected.
The former couple eventually divorced in 2007.

Isabella also had to undergo egg freezing as the radiation and chemotherapy can affect her fertility (the sisters are seen with their father in 2019).
The source added: “Right now they're both taking it one day at a time.”
Michael and Isabella announced the emotional news that she had been diagnosed earlier this month and said she had to undergo emergency surgery after doctors found a tumor larger than a golf ball in the back of her brain has grown.
They appeared on Good Morning America, with the couple telling Robin Roberts about the teenager's “serious” diagnosis.
Aspiring model Isabella smiled as she told Robin: “I'm feeling good, not bad. “I'm really looking forward to this whole process coming to an end, but you just have to take it one day at a time.”

When discussing her future, she revealed that she is “looking forward to going back to college and moving back to California.” [restarting] my whole school experience is over.'
