The star and his Argentine wife,Luisana Lopilato meanwhile announced that they are putting their career on hold to help their child get better from the dreadful news of his cancer.
Noah's condition was known after he had been taken to the doctors for a suspected case of mumps.
This has raised concerns for many parents who want to know if there is any connection with mumps
in a child and cancer.
"We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children. 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.
"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."
We wish Michael the best.It is very sad when someone who has given so much happiness to millions of people is deprived of oen of the most basic things in life,a safe and healthy family.Fans from all over the world,from the US to Britain,to Argentina and Australia has been wishing the star and his child a speedy recovery.We hope the type cancer of his son which ahs not been announced was caught in time thereby enhancing a speedy recovery.
I remember a similar incident when Gary Lineker's little son was diagnosed with leukemia,the whole footballing world as well as the nation got behind the footballer with support and more than 20 years later,the bot is a happy and healthy living adult.We wish Noah the same.The couple have a another son,a 9 month old.
One of the first things that can be noticed is a painful swelling that can be noticed beneath the ear area if your child has contracted mumps.It should also be said that this painful often makes it very difficult for the child to be able to swallow.
Also,the viral infection causes painful swellings to develop on the side of the face beneath the parotid glands.Some pre-symptoms before the face swelling are,headaches,feeling sick,having dryness in mouth,aches and joint pains,feeling tired and drowsy,lack of appetite and a very high temperature.
Symptoms are visible after 3 to 7 days,but the infection lasts for around 21 to 32 days.The way the infection spreads is very similar to a way cold and flu infections are picked up,meaning contaminated saliva droplets can also be transferred from person to person.
Even though doctors can suggest ways of reducing severity of the symptoms,there is no known cure for mumps, but the MMR vaccine has ensued a great decline is cases.but the infection does clear up in under two weeks.Part of proven methods that has cleared up the symptoms are getting plenty of rest and flushing out the system with lots of water.
As of the aches and pains,painkillers are very effective and it also applies compression to the swollen glands.
Please be vigilant and look out for these signs or any unusual changes in your childs condition or behavioural patterns.
