Whoa. This is so scary…
The Bachelor star Joe Amabile is dealing with an unexpected health crisis — only discovered because he took part in one of those Prenuvo scans so many celebs are promoting these days!
Grocery Store Joe took to social media on Monday to share a very, very vulnerable video, revealing that after undergoing a Prenuvo full-body scan recently, doctors discovered what appears to be an early-stage brain tumor. Oh, no. He explained:
“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.”

The 40-year-old is now scheduled to have surgery in two weeks to remove the lesion:
“So I now need to get brain surgery [in two weeks] to get it removed and get it tested, and then we’re gonna go from there. So it’s been a wild couple weeks. Definitely wasn’t expecting this.”
The reality star went on to reflect on the shocking nature of this diagnosis, saying:
“I think it’s one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh, something like this never happened to me,’ and here I am. 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 his caption, he added that “this past month has been a lot of ups and downs, to say the least.” He added:
“I’m doing my best to stay positive during this time and am lucky to have a lot of support from family and friends ”
While he was unsure about sharing his results, he ultimately believes it’s the right thing to do:
“I’ve 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.”
Wow. See the full update (below):
His wife, Serena Pitt, supported him in the comments, writing:
“You’re so strong and we’re going to get through this together
I love you.”
We’re sending Joe so much love and strength throughout this health journey. Our best wishes for a successful surgery, speedy recovery, and positive news for the future!
