Overview
- Amabile says a Prenuvo whole‑body MRI led to follow-up brain scans that found a 'blueberry‑sized' lesion that doctors told him looks like a glioma.
- He disclosed the diagnosis in an Instagram video shared Monday, July 13, saying he had debated going public before deciding to update fans and family.
- Amabile is scheduled to have a craniotomy at Memorial Sloan Kettering in about two weeks to remove the lesion and send tissue for pathological testing.
- Medical experts note gliomas cover a range from slow‑growing, noncancerous tumors to aggressive cancers, so definitive prognosis depends on the pathology report.
- His wife and many colleagues from Bachelor Nation and Dancing With the Stars have offered support, and the next key developments to watch are the surgery itself and the post‑operative pathology results.
