Joe Amabile, the reality star known to fans as "Grocery Store Joe" from The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and Dancing with the Stars, revealed on Instagram this week that doctors discovered what looks to be an early-stage brain tumor. Amabile, 40, said the finding came after a full-body Prenuvo MRI screening turned up something unexpected. "I didn't share my Prenuvo results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain," he explained.
The early nature of the diagnosis appears to be the silver lining. Amabile said doctors told him "it's really early stages," and that he's hopeful surgeons will remove the growth entirely. He's set to undergo surgery within two weeks at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, giving him and his doctors a head start before the tumor has a chance to progress further.
