Mark Hoppus reveals his type of cancer and shares update on status

[@rickcollingwood8828]

I can’t quite believe Mark is sat talking like this about his cancer. He’s being so upfront and open about it. What a fantastic man, this is so tough to watch. Best of luck to him I really hope he beats this.

[@curtissearle6462]

Ya I know idea this was going on! You got this Mark!

[@biconditionals]

It’s really great that he’s putting stuff out in the public that often goes unsaid, such as the devastating effects of chemo. Putting “cancer haver” in his Twitter bio… it’s like he’s destigmatising it. Very cool

[@rogerdalzell]

it took him 3 months too be comfortable with talking about it. im greatful he did. so many people love this man lol

I got leukemia when I was 6 in 1998, and I missed most of 1st and second grade. Guess who I always listened to even then? Blinkkkk! You got this Mark! 🥊

Stay strong legend. My mum got an extremely serious cancer diagnosis 12 years ago, and she beat it and is doing great today. What ever the reault, you've got this bud.

Hi Mark, I walked past you at Babbington House in 2016, you were with your family and we said Merry Christmas to each other! I knew it was you straight away, but didn't want to make a fuss. Since I was the age of 10, your music has made me happy and I still listen to it today. You are a legend and legends are omnipotent, so you will definitely beat this! Lots of love to you and yours

[@MidLifeGamerGuy]

Hey Mark, I was fighting testicular cancer which spread to my lungs and my brain at stage 4 for nearly 2 years, every few weeks the doctors would tell me they weren't sure what else they could do but after more chemo than I can remember, radio therapy laser surgery 2 brain operations thanks to the love and support of my family and friends, the amazing medical staff and keeping my mind focussed on getting through it I'm now 5 years into remission. Keep fighting mate, you Tom and Travis made music that I love and helped me get through it! Stay strong brother, you got this!

[@cacorkins]

As a current cancer patient going through chemotherapy, I have to say Mark looks pretty healthy. Given that he's probably somewhere between 12-15 years older than me, his treatments are affecting him harder than mine affect me, I typically only feel bad for 3-4 days at most. I'm definitely tired alot though. He's gonna kick ass and bounce back stronger than ever. Get it Mark!

My anxiety was so bad and i was in such a weird dark place i turned away from music when normally i would turn to it during hard time. But i just didnt want any music i loved to later make me think of this dark place i once was in. Like he said i didnt want it to associate music with that. Wow i fully get that.

Think back before we had penicillin people died from infections that all they needed was some antibiotics.

I hope everyone gets cured of anything they need to be cured of, praying for you all!
