Isabela became famous on social media after sharing her stories about Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a tumor that surrounds the heart. After all the processes to attempt a cure, the young woman lives in palliative care and is only expected to have six months to live.
Two weeks ago, she had already been invited by the club to visit the stadium’s facilities. Alongside her family and her husband, Lucas Borba, Isabel walked around the Arena and agreed with the club to return to watch the game for the first time.
“Very happy. I support Athletico thanks to my cousin. And I always wanted to visit the Arena, but I never had the opportunity”, he commented on the opportunity.

Isabel, who is from the city of Dois Vizinhos, returned to the Arena for the duel against Vasco. In addition to seeing Furacão’s 1-0 victory, which put the team at the top of the Brasileirão, the young woman managed to take a photo with midfielder Bruno Zapelli, her favorite player in the squad, and published it on social media.
However, the influencer revealed that she almost gave up going to the game because she felt ill the day before. The realization of yet another of Isabel’s dreams was only possible because of oxygen.
