‘Bachelorette’ star Joe Amabile shares health update after brain surgery
'I think I struggled at the beginning with speaking, just like knowing what to say but not being able to say it,' Joe Amabile said one week after undergoing brain surgery.
Joe Amabile, a former Bachelorette star, shared an update on his health after undergoing brain surgery due to a brain tumor diagnosis. In a video posted on Instagram, the 40-year-old reality star revealed that it had been a full week since his surgery and expressed gratitude for the care he received at NYU Langone Health. Amabile, who was diagnosed with a low-grade astrocytoma, stated that he would be on a daily pill to prevent any remaining tumor cells from proliferating, along with regular MRIs.
His wife, Serena Pitt, also shared photos from the couple's health journey, expressing their gratitude for the team's care. Gliomas, a type of brain tumor, are most common in adults between the ages of 45 and 65, but can affect children and young adults as well. The Mayo Clinic notes that symptoms depend on the tumor's location, size, and growth rate, with common signs including headaches, nausea, vision problems, speech difficulties, and seizures.
Amabile and Pitt hope sharing their experience can encourage others to advocate for their health and seek prompt medical attention.
