At the age of 15, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, an uncommon cancer that develops in the lymphatic system, as reported by Need To Know.

Isabel, who is from Brazil, has since undergone a bone marrow transplant and several rounds of chemotherapy.

She was given the all clear in November 2023 but sadly, just three months later, her cancer returned.
