Blink-182's Mark Hoppus Gives Positive Update Since Being Declared Cancer-Free

His battle with lymphoma cancer began in April 2021. He was diagnosed with stage four diffuse large B-cell lymphoma — one of the more common subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"It sucks and I'm scared, and at the same time I'm blessed with incredible doctors and family and friends to get me through this," the 50-year-old musician tweeted at the time.

And thankfully, that is exactly what ended up happening, because in September, Hoppus happily announced that he was in remission and would soon be officially cancer-free.

"Thank you, God and universe and friends and family and everyone who sent support and kindness and love," he added before revealing that in the subsequent months, he would need to be regularly scanned and continue receiving treatment.

In the very brief interview, he seemed grateful to be in better health and enthusiastic about his future in music, as well as simply spending less time cooped up inside his living room

"Just getting back out into it," he added after the reporter pointed out that he hasn't made a public appearance in quite some time.

"I most wanted to get back into the studio and get back to playing music, and get off of my couch," he said.

In January, Hoppus revealed on social media that he was finally inspired to write music again.

"Just want to say that I'm very grateful to be back in the mindset of 'Oh! That's a cool idea for a song lyric, I should write that down.' I haven't felt that in eight months," he wrote.

If he can pass on any words of wisdom after his triumph over cancer, it's to "enjoy every day."

"Do you think Kourtney is the one for Travis?" the reporter asked, to which Hoppus replied, "Yes, I do."

Hoppus' wife also weighed in. "I think I'm the one for Travis," she quipped, laughing.
