The Argentinian publication claimed that the Canadian crooner’s eldest was diagnosed on November 1, after Noah underwent a liver biopsy, following an examination at a clinic in Buenos Aires.
It’s believed that he will undergo chemotherapy for four months. Thankfully the reports claims he has a 90 per cent chance of recovery.
Speaking to the magazine, the singer’s sister-in-law Daniela Lopilato confirmed the little boy has already begun chemotherapy.
“If God wanted it to be discovered that way, it’s because he wants to save Noah,” Daniela said.
“Cancer is a horrible illness, but we have faith in Noah being able to overcome this. We know he will.”
“The time to start a long and very difficult treatment has come but it’s got to be done. They say that children are often strong enough to withstand chemotherapy… and my nephew is a warrior.”
