Mark Hoppus van Blink-182 shares how accidentally his cancer struggle to the world revealed him: “It was a blessing”

Mark Hoppus has revealed how his announcement of casual cancer was a disguised blessing.

The frontman of the Blink-182 has been undergoing chemotherapy for an aggressive form of blood cancer for three months, when he accidentally placed a photo of himself in treatment with Instagram stories.

The post, made in 2021, was meant to go only to his ‘good friends’ – but the punk singer had chosen the wrong setting.

At the time, he quickly removed the mail and hoped it would ‘disappear’ – but in the end the world was the best behind him, he told the project on Wednesday.

‘I actually posted on Instagram when I get my chemotherapy and I said one cancer treatment, please. And I put it on good friends and family, I thought, but I was wrong, “he explained.

Mark says his phone started ‘blowing up’ – and he knew he had reached the point of no return.

But it turned out to be the best, says De Ster, because he had begun to give up hope – and the audience gave him the power he needed to fight.

“The outpouring of the support I received took me out:” This can take me “to” this can take me, but I’m going to fight, “he said.

“I’m glad it came out like this. That was my third round of chemotherapy, and I was despondent at that time. ‘

Mark recently became frank about his cancer struggle as he revealed that he wasn’t come out alive.

The 53-year-old bassist and vocalist that recently has made a bizarre claim about the conquest of Saddam Hussein – revealed that he had the dark realization that he had to ‘prepare mentally’ for his family to continue without him.

The punk -rocker was recently on The Chris Moyles show on Radio X Where he became frank about getting chemotherapy during his struggle with the devastating disease.

Mark explained: ‘It was brutal. It was terrible. My form of cancer … My doctor told me, the good news is that I had a 60% chance to get through and never deal with it again.

“But the bad thing was that the chemo is one of the worst you could undergo. And I did, I had everything. I was sick, my hair fell out. It was bad. I don’t recommend it. Zero out of five stars. ‘

The hit maker of my age said he was grateful that the chemo process helped him to ‘save’ despite how difficult it was before he was asked how stressful it was for him mentally.

Mark replied: ‘Oh yes. It got pretty dark. And this is a morning radio show, and everyone drives to work or whatever, but yes. It was pretty dark. It was terrible. And I really thought I wouldn’t make it.

‘I thought I was on the wrong side of that 60%, and I was mentally prepared for, you know, my family went on and what my wife would do after I was gone, and he would help my son to raise and all those things. So, to be here with you today, and sitting next to Captain, is a dream come true! ‘

The health of the song singer of the Adam has been on an increase in recent years and he is grateful that his cancer had not spread and did not return.

Mark explained: ‘I’m healthy, it’s going well. I don’t even have to be scanned anymore, touch wood. I had to be scanned for years every six months. And you know, every time you go inside, you are: “Oh, it’s absolutely back. Oh, this will certainly come back badly.”

“But a few months ago I spoke with my oncologist and I said,” Well, when will I be scanned again? “Then he said,” No, you’re cool. ” My oncologist is so chill about everything all the time. He said, “No, it’s going well.” As, when I was in remission when I was in remission, and my first cancer scan clearly came back, I thought, “Well, what should I do now?” And he says, “Go live your life.”

Mark’s cancer fight helped some of his relationships. De Ster restored his broken friendship with bandmate Tom Delonge, who left several times and withdrew through the group for disagreement with their image as the ‘Naked Band’.

The singer made his cancer treatment public when he accidentally sent a photo of himself on a chemo drop to his Instagram stories in June 2021.

Mark now regards this ‘the best mistake’ he has ever made, because it meant that he no longer suffered in silence.

He was declared cancer freely in September 2021 and said that he would continue to be screened every six moths in case it returns.

The artist spoke earlier in detail about his health struggle on a Twitch stream.

“My classification is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma stage four-a, which means, as I understand, it has come in four different parts of my body,” he said.

‘I don’t know exactly how they determine the four -part of it, but it is sufficient parts of my body that I am phase four, what I think it is the highest that it is going. So I am four-A phase. ‘

He initially confirmed his diagnosis in a tweet of June 23 and said, “It is a fuck and I am scared, and at the same time I am blessed with incredible doctors and family and friends to get me through.”

Mark told people earlier that going through ‘chemotherapy was brutal’, because he ‘had the worst brain fog’ and was suppressed by his energy and ‘finally sitting on the couch, just tried to get through the day’.

He remembered: ‘During dinner with friends we have known for years, and I look at the husband at the table and thought to myself:’ I can’t remember your first name. “And so it was always. I still feel it every few days – I will forget a word – but it is much better. ‘

He told the outlet that he ‘did well’ and ‘in a much better place’ in the near year after he received a clean health letter.

“I feel like I have a second chance of life,” he said.
