Summary
Amabile, 40, said Thursday that doctors "got it all" after brain surgery, while wife Serena Pitt said the entire tumor was removed and he is recovering well.
The operation followed scans last month that found a blueberry-sized brain lesion that appeared to be a glioma, prompting doctors to recommend surgery and testing.
Amabile had said the tumor appeared to be in its early stages and that physicians were hopeful they could remove all of the tissue.
On the couple's podcast, he explained doctors could not identify the lesion through monitoring alone and chose removal over biopsy because its location made surgery the safer diagnostic option.
