On July 16, 2021, he wrote<\/a>, \u201cHad chemo on Wednesday and felt like hot garbage and haven\u2019t really slept since. But this morning, this minute right now, I feel okay. I\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On September 15, Hoppus shared that he had finished his round of chemotherapy. On the 29th, he would know if it worked or not. If it didn\u2019t work, a whole new world of treatment would open up and he\u2019d be faced with a possible bone marrow transplant and more chemotherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark Hoppus founded Blink-182 with some friends in 1992. They\u2019ve taken some breaks since then, but still continue to do tours and make music today.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems with Hoppus\u2019 remission announcement, the band could continue on stronger than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n
