Isabella is a spunky, sassy, energetic little girl who always keeps her parents, Juan and Amanda, on their toes. So when she started sleeping all the time and waking up in tears, they knew something was seriously wrong.   

After Isabella also began experiencing frequent vomiting and constipation, they ended up at Phoenix Children’s emergency department, where they got shocking news: Isabella had cancer. Watch her story to learn how this devastating diagnosis has changed their lives.

Then watch Isabella’s mom, Amanda, sit down with ABC15 journalist Nick Ciletti to describe the emotional journey of finding out her child had cancer and helping her to get healthy again.
