Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus has revealed new details about his cancer diagnosis.
The 49-year-old rocker shared that he has “diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Stage 4-A” during a Twitch live stream with fans, which was captured and reuploaded by a Blink 182 fan account on YouTube. Hoppus was very open with his fans throughout the live stream, sharing detailed specifics about his diagnosis and treatment.
“My classification is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Stage 4-A, which means, as I understand it, it’s entered four different parts of my body,” Hoppus explained.
Hoppus went on to explain that he had a doctor’s appointment the next day to determine whether or not his chemotherapy treatments were working.
The exact date of the live stream is unclear, but Hoppus has yet to share an additional update.
The Blink-182 frontman added that regardless of the pending update — good or bad — he is required to finish his next three rounds of chemo “just to make sure.”
Despite his diagnosis and ongoing treatments, Hoppus seemed in good spirits.
Hoppus confirmed his cancer diagnosis in June, later revealing he was first diagnosed two months earlier in April. Blink-182’s Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge shared support for their bandmate.
