Amabile Shares ‘Early Stage Brain Tumor’
Amabile shared his latest health news in an Instagram post on July 13, where he stated that he had held off from sharing the results of his Prenuvo MRI scan because he was processing what doctors had found in his brain.
“I didn’t share my Prenuvo results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain,” he said, adding, “So then I had to get a brain MRI, and there was a blueberry-sized lesion in my brain that looks to be a glioma, which is a tumor.”
Doctors informed Amabile that it was “an early stage brain tumor” and scheduled a craniotomy in two weeks, where the tumor would be removed and tested.

“Stay strong for him Serena. Feeling scared is normal. This is very emotional. So many prayers are coming your way. 🙏 He will get through this. And knowing he has you will be a great comfort to him. Sending hugs to you both. 💛” A fan shared.
“Love you both so much. You’re so strong Serena,” “Dancing With the Stars” pro Alan Bersten wrote, while DWTS pro Emma Slater shared, “Love you both so so much ❤️.” Amabile competed on season 27 of the hit show and was partnered with Jenna Johnson.
