The Bachelor star Joe Amabile is sharing a major health update.
The 40-year-old reality star, who is also known as “Grocery Store Joe,” uploaded a video to his Instagram on Monday (July 13) to share that his doctors had discovered what seems to be an early-stage brain tumor after getting a full-body scan.
“So a little medical update. I didn’t share my Prenuvo results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain. 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 glioma, which is a tumor,” he said in the video.
In about two weeks, he will get brain surgery to have it removed so the doctors can determine exactly what it is.
He continued, “I think it’s one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh, something like this never happened to me,’ and here I am,” he said. “They say it’s really early stages. I hope they are able to get it all, and I’m fine. But I will keep you updated.”
In the caption of his post, Joe admitted he had struggled on whether or not to share the news, but said he’s grateful to “have a lot of support from family and friends.”
Joe is married to fellow Bachelor Nation star Serena Pitt.
