Michael was asked if he ever thought that Isabella could actually die from the deadly disease. He was honest with his answer. He said,

“Yes, as a parent you hear that your kid has cancer and you go, ‘Whoa.’ You have to control your thoughts, because your brain thinks of the worst case scenario, and then you work your way back from there. I don’t think I’ll go through the rest of my life without some worry in some shape or form about this.”
