The 19-year-old college student started off her video on her couch at home, recapping how her chemo experience went.
She rubbed a small bag filled with ice on her head, rolling it slowly all over it.
"My head hurts. I have ice on my head. I feel like I'm having a heart attack," Isabella said.
The aspiring model added that "everything hurt" on her a few moments later.

Isabella revealed to the world last month that she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare condition that accounts for about 20 percent of all childhood brain tumors.
The teen, who is the twin of Michael's, 52, other daughter, Sophia, has not let her health issue rule her life.
Her YouTube vlog uploaded in February featured her engaging in her workout routine, which included doing sit-ups and exercising on a treadmill.
Explained in the video's big block subtitles was that the aspiring supermodel had been "focusing on staying strong and healthy" since she was finishing "radiation treatment."

"You are looking so radiant and beautiful. Stay strong mentally! I just finished radiation 6 months ago. You are in my prayers," one fan typed.
Another added: "Isabella I love seeing this. Sending continuous love and healing vibes to you each and every day of your journey. You got this beautiful."

STAYING STRONG
Isabella was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in late October and had emergency surgery to remove a golfball-sized mass in her brain.
The teenager and her retired NFL star father sat down for a tearful interview with his co-anchor Robin Roberts, 63, on GMA in mid-January.
Isabella burst out crying as she talked about how rare her condition is.
Michael immediately handed her a tissue and put a supportive hand on her leg as she sobbed, "I told myself I wasn't going to cry!"
He added soothingly, "It happens. You're allowed to cry," and Robin added, "Take your time."

Isabella wiped away tears as she went on, "It's been like, two months of keeping it quiet, which is definitely difficult.
"I don't wanna hide it anymore 'cause it's hard to always keep in. I hope to just kind of be a voice, and be [someone] who people, maybe [those who] are going through chemotherapy or radiation can look at."
