A source confirmed to Us that: “He feels fine, he’s getting through it and still working. It’s all scheduled once a week. He’s super optimistic. Doctors are hopeful that this will take care of it and be the last step, and he will hopefully then be in remission and cancer-free. Joe just says he feels like it’s like going to get a checkup.”

Joe also underwent surgery for the disease in September, when an insider told Us it “went well,” adding that his kids had been “super supportive.”
