Mark Hoppus of blink-182: “The chemo is working!”

Mark Hoppus has had a rough time over the last year. He was diagnosed with stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the same kind of cancer his mother had. And like his mom, Mark seems to be well on the road to beating the thing.

After rounds and rounds of chemo, scans show that it’s working. He still has months of treatment to go, but as he put it, “it’s the best possible news.” The next scan is coming up on the 29th.

He even posted a shot of his skull, showing that his hair has started to grow back.
