Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise<\/a> star Joe Amabile\u00a0has a brain tumor.<\/p>\n

In a video shared to Instagram on Monday, July 13, the reality star, 40, shared that his doctors found what appears to be an early-stage brain tumor after he underwent a Prenuvo scan, or a proactive, full-body MRI. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo a little medical update. I didn\u2019t share my\u00a0Prenuvo\u00a0results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain,\u201d Amabile said in the\u00a0video<\/a>. \u201cSo then I had to go get a brain MRI, and there was a blueberry-sized lesion in my brain that looks to be a\u00a0glioma, which is a tumor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amabile then shared that he will undergo brain surgery in two weeks to remove the lesion and determine if it’s cancerous or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I now need to get brain surgery to get it removed and get it tested, and then we\u2019re gonna go from there,\u201d Amabile continued. \u201cSo it\u2019s been a wild couple weeks. Definitely wasn\u2019t expecting this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s one of those things where you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, something like this never happened to me,\u2019 and here I am,\u201d he added. \u201cThey say it\u2019s really early stages. I hope they are able to get it all, and I\u2019m fine. But I will keep you updated.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the post’s caption, Amabile revealed more details about his upcoming procedure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis past month has been a lot of ups and downs to say the least,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAfter multiple scans and MRIs I have what looks to be an early stage brain tumor. In two weeks I\u2019ll be undergoing a craniotomy to have it removed \u2014 yeah brain surgery \u2014 @memorialsloankettering.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing my best to stay positive<\/a> during this time and am lucky to have a lot of support from family and friends \u2764\ufe0f,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Amabile is married to fellow Bachelor alum Serena Pitt, whom he met on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2021. They first married in an intimate courthouse ceremony in New York City in October<\/a> 2022 before celebrating with a more formal wedding in Charleston, South Carolina, the following year.<\/p>\n
