In a Twitch live stream on Tuesday, MARK HOPPUS revealed he was diagnosed in late April with Stage 4-A Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
It’s an aggressive type of cancer that attacks the white blood cells. Mark said quote, “My blood’s trying to kill me.”
His mom actually had the same exact type of cancer and BEAT IT . . . she also beat breast cancer TWICE.
When he described his chemotherapy experience, he said the first round felt like being an electrocuted zombie, but by the third round, he felt nauseous and sick.
Mark said, quote, “A side effect is you get something called ‘chemo brain’ . . . I forget things that I should have on-call like people’s names, song titles, anything.”
He also mentioned that he doesn’t listen to any songs or eat foods he likes while in the chemo chair because he doesn’t want to later associate it with the terrible experience.
Mark recently had a test done to determine the effectiveness of the chemo, but there hasn’t been an update. He is optimistic and said, quote, “We’re beating this cancer . . . it’s just a matter of time.”
