Following the heart-breaking news that Michael Buble's three-year-old son Noah has been diagnosed with cancer, he and his wife announced they are putting their careers on hold.
“We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our oldest son Noah who is currently undergoing treatment in the US,” Bublé, and his wife Luisana Lopilato wrote in a statement on the singer’s Facebook page. “We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children.”
Celebrities quickly shared their support; among them was actress Shannen Doherty who was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2015.
“I can’t even begin to touch that one, to be honest, because it’s a 3-year-old,” the former Charmed actress told Entertainment Tonight at the American Cancer Society’s Inaugural Giants of Science Gala. “I would imagine your child having cancer is devastating as a parent.”
Shannen received a courage award and shared some empowering advice for Buble and his family:
“Just trust in your doctors. Make sure you have amazing doctors, a great team and know that organizations like the American Cancer Society, Stand Up to Cancer, they are doing so much good for cancer,” she said.
“And [there is] so much research that we have much better chances now. Stay positive. That positivity, that outlook on life that you can get through something, it actually does get you through,” she added.
Buble's sister, Brandee, has also shared a beautiful message on her Instagram, showing her support:
“And now these three remain: faith, hope, & love. But the greatest of these is love,” reads the chalkboard writing on the photo — a biblical quote from 1 Corinthians 13:13.
“And we’ve got a lot … ” the children’s book author captioned the sweet message, adding a heart emoji.
