The good news comes after a seemingly difficult holiday season for the family, which also includes 1-year-old Elias. PEOPLE confirmed in January that Bublé opted out of hosting February’s Brit awards to focus on his family.

“We send Michael and his family our very best wishes,” BBC Music director Bob Shennan said at the time.

Friends, family members and celebrities alike have spoken out in support of Bublé and Noah. Shannen Doherty, who herself is battling breast cancer, advised the singer to “stay positive” — not a far cry from her own journey, on which she has been praised for her optimism and humor.

She added, “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.”

Following the announcement of Noah’s diagnosis, Bublé and Lopilato, 29, insisted they were keeping optimistic, and focusing on having faith and being together during the holidays and always.

“Luisana and I have put our careers on hold in order to devote all our time and attention to helping Noah get well. At this difficult time, we ask only for your prayers and respect for our privacy,” read a statement posted to the singer’s Facebook page.

“We have a long journey in front of us and hope that with the support of family, friends and fans around the world, we will win this battle, God willing.”
