In an Instagram video, Joe said, “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.”
Joe shared that he would undergo a craniotomy “to get it removed and get it tested, and then we're gonna go from there.”
Amabile admitted he was some struggling to process the news.
He noted, “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.”
