Famed"Bachelor" alum Joe Amabile has revealed a frightening health diagnosis that will require him to undergo surgery this month. The former Chicago store owner known by fans as"Grocery Store Joe" revealed on social media that he has an early stage brain tumor.
"This past month has been a lot of ups and downs to say the least. After multiple scans and MRIs I have what looks to be an early stage brain tumor," he wrote on Instagram.
"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," he said in a video posted to his page. "It's been a wild couple weeks. I definitely wasn't expecting this," he said.
"I think it's one of those things where you're like 'Oh something like this never happen to me. ' And here I am. "While there are many different kinds of gliomas, some can be cancerous. "Some grow slowly and aren't considered to be cancers.
Others are considered cancerous," the clinic reported. Amabile said he remains hopeful heading into the surgery and is"doing my best to stay positive during this time.

"We feel so blessed to have an amazing community who is supporting us and helping us hold onto a positive mindset throughout all of this!
I truly believe Joe is going to get through this, and no matter what happens we’re going to face it together.
