Back in June, Mark Hoppus revealed that he has diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Stage 4-A. Today, he shared the texts he sent when he knew something was wrong in April, so he reached out to his doctor.
How it started…
Tues, Apr 20, 7:34 AM
Mark: Hi Jill. For the past couple days I’ve had this dull sore lump in my shoulder kind of right where it connects to my neck that could either be fatal lymphoma or a sore muscle. At what point should I be concerned and have it looked at?
Jill: I need to see you!
Mark: Okay, I can come in this afternoon?
Or this morning I just have a radio show to tape at noon

Jill: 4:15 pm work?
Mark – Yep! See you then! Thanks again
He followed up the texts with a photo of himself showing how it is going now as he is beating the cancer with the help of chemo.
Hopefully, in a blink, he will be cancer-free and back on the road again with Blink-182. Especially now that Travis Barker is flying again.
