Mark Hoppus is battling diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Stage 4-A, and he is currently undergoing his fifth round of chemo to beat it.
His scans are showing that he is winning. And now, he has another sign that cancer is no match for him. The hair on the top of his head is growing back.
The Blink-182 bassist is so excited that he shared a closeup of his scalp with little hairs and wrote, “Hahaha. Look at this trash. This is the top of my head right now. This is what God sees when He looks down upon His work and despairs. Cancer-ass head trying to grow back some hair. Awww. Poor little head. Keep your chin up, fighter.”
Then he added that it is not all good news, “Feeling terrible this week but trying to stay positive and count my blessings. I hope everyone is doing great, staying healthy, and being kind to each other. If anyone needs me, I’ll be on the couch for the foreseeable future.”
It is always the darkest before the dawn, but there is a light for him. And it is shining through with those little sprouts of hair.
