Meet Izzabellah “Bellah,” a brain cancer warrior.

For four months, Bellah endured worsening headaches before an MRI revealed something was wrong. Her mom, Natalie, remembers: “She had an MRI, and I knew instantly something wasn’t right. We received a call an hour later, were sent to a regional hospital, and within hours were transferred to Riley Children’s Hospital.”

Doctors removed Bellah’s first tumor, but soon discovered more. She began 13 months of oral chemotherapy, followed by a second brain surgery. Next, came eight weeks of radiation and a return to chemotherapy.

Along the way, Bellah faced tough side effects from treatment, which meant meeting many new specialists and coping with the challenges of losing friends and missing out socially. Yet, she found strength in creating short videos and blogs to share her journey and encourage others.

Today, Bellah continues school while also working as an activity aide at a local nursing facility—showing resilience and hope every step of the way.
