The 49-year-old musician has continually updated his fans on the status of his health since first opening up about his cancer diagnosis in a June 23-dated social media statement, in which he wrote that he was remaining “hopeful and positive” for a cancer-free future while still going through the next few months of treatment. He said he had been undergoing chemotherapy for three months when he posted his first update. Then in July, he revealed that he’s battling the same blood-related cancer his mother beat. Within a matter of days, Hoppus shared the“best possible news” that the chemo was working.
His former blink-182 bandmate Tom DeLonge claimed the“cancer is disappearing” in late July before confirming earlier this month that Hoppus hadcompleted his chemo treatment.
