This reality TV star thought a routine health scan would bring peace of mind.<\/p>\n

Instead, the “Bachelor in Paradise” star revealed it uncovered what appears to be an early-stage brain tumor, sending him on a whirlwind journey that will require brain surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The shocking discovery began with what Joe Amabile expected would be a routine full-body scan.<\/p>\n

“So, a little medical update. I didn\u2019t share my\u00a0Prenuvo\u00a0results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain,” he said in a video shared to Instagram<\/a>. “So, 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.”<\/p>\n

The additional testing quickly led to a treatment plan. Amabile revealed he would undergo a craniotomy<\/a> in two weeks to remove the tumor so doctors could test it.<\/p>\n

“So, I now need to get brain surgery [in two weeks] to get it removed and get it tested, and then we\u2019re gonna go from there,” he explained. “So, it\u2019s been a wild couple weeks. Definitely wasn\u2019t expecting this.”<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the whirlwind diagnosis, Amabile said he never expected to find himself in this position.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s one of those things where you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, something like this’ll never happen to me,\u2019 and here I am,” he said. “They 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.”<\/p>\n

The former “Bachelorette” contestant<\/a> shared additional details in the caption of his video. Amabile also reflected on the emotional toll of the diagnosis.<\/p>\n

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

“I\u2019ve gone back and forth about what I wanted to share on social media but ultimately, this is now part of my life now, so might as well. Onto a new journey.”<\/p>\n
