Summary
Joe Amabile said an MRI found a blueberry-sized brain lesion that appears to be a glioma after a routine full-body scan flagged an abnormality.
The "Bachelor in Paradise" alum said doctors consider it early-stage and have scheduled a craniotomy in two weeks to remove the tumor and test it.
Amabile shared the diagnosis in an Instagram video, calling the past few weeks a whirlwind and saying he hopes surgeons can remove all of it.
The 2018 "Bachelorette" contestant, known as "Grocery Store Joe," said he is trying to stay positive with support from family and friends as he begins treatment.
