This diagnosis has brought Joe and his family together and reminded him that what matters most is family."
As for Jessica and Ashlee, the source said the sisters were "devastated at the initial diagnosis," but have since rallied behind their dad. "They are being positive, uplifting forces for him and are helping him get through this," the source added. "With Joe's faith in God and his family's support, he knows he will come out of this strong."
