They got it all!

Amabile first disclosed his diagnosis on July 13, explaining that doctors discovered a "blueberry-size lesion" in his brain during a full-body MRI. Subsequent tests indicated it was likely an early-stage glioma, a type of tumor that begins in the brain or spinal cord. He had been preparing for a craniotomy to have the tumor removed, a procedure he described as "brain surgery."

So a little medical update… they ended up finding a lesion in my brain so then I had to go get a brain MRI. There was a blueberry-size lesion in my brain that looks to be a glioma which is a tumour.

Throughout this challenging period, the 40-year-old has emphasized the importance of staying positive and maintaining low stress levels, crediting his support system of family and friends. "I'm not one of those people like, 'Oh it's all about mindset.' But I do believe going into this positive and with a positive mindset and keeping my stress levels low is the best thing I could do for my health in this current moment," Amabile stated during an episode of his podcast, 'Not Married to This.'

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. In two weeks I’ll be undergoing a craniotomy to have it removed, yeah brain surgery.

Amabile and his wife, Serena Pitt, hope that by sharing their experience publicly, they can inspire others to prioritize their health and advocate for themselves. Pitt mentioned that they would have more information after the removed tumor is tested. "We hope that you guys take away from this to advocate for yourself, ask questions. You know, health is never something to mess around with," she added. Amabile also debuted a new buzzcut in a recent video, signaling his recovery and readiness to move forward.
