Mark Hoppus has been keeping fans updated on his ongoing cancer battle. While the whole situation is downright terrifying, his latest update is a really wonderful one. A few days ago he revealed he was about to take a test that would give him a good idea of his life expectancy — a seriously overwhelming thought. He wrote: “Apologies if I’m oversharing but it’s so surreal to think that this week I’ll take a test that may very well determine if I live or die. Thanks to everyone for the positive thoughts and encouragement. I read all your replies and it means the world to me. Thank you. I’m going to beat this through chemotherapy or through bone marrow transplants, but either way I’m determined to kick cancer’s ass directly in the nuts. Love to you all. Let’s. Heckin. Go.”
