Blink-182's Mark Hoppus Reveals He's Officially Cancer-Free
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Back in June, Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer via Twitter and shared updates on his treatments and chemotherapy along the way. Wednesday on Instagram, Hoppus revealed that after the months-long battle, he's finally cancer-free.
"Just saw my oncologist and I'm cancer-free!!" the Blink-182 co-frontman wrote in an Instagram post. "Thank you God and universe and friends and family and everyone who sent support and kindness and love."
Hoppus added that he still has "to get scanned every six months" to track his progress. "It'll take me until the end of the year to get back to normal but today is an amazing day and I feel so blessed," he wrote.
In a July Twitch stream, Hoppus elaborated on his diagnosis, sharing that he had stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a form of blood cancer that that his mother also had and beat.
“The first chemo, I felt like I was a zombie that fell onto an electric fence and was just being shocked,” Hoppus said in the stream. “The second round of chemo, I just felt very weak and tired. Really just like the worst flu ever. The third round of chemo, I started retching. Nauseous and that whole thing.”
Several celebrity friends (and fans) have come out in support of Hoppus in the comments on his good news, including John Mayer, Samantha Ronson, and DJ Samantha Ronson. "Just the best," Mayer commented on the post.
"Fuck yes!!!!" wrote Ronson. "I don’t even know you and this made MY day!!! Awesome!!!"
Here's to Hoppus' recovery, and hopefully more livestream concerts.
