"I still have months of treatment ahead of me but I'm trying to remain hopeful and positive. Can't wait to be cancer free and see you all at a concert in the near future. Love to you all," he continued.
Hoppus, on his Instagram Story, also posted a photo of himself at the hospital.
"Yes hello. One cancer treatment, please," he captioned the image.
The 49-year-old also received support from bandmate Travis Barker and former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge on social media.

"I too, have been aware of @markhoppus's cancer diagnosis for awhile now. And to add to his own words that he used today, I would also like to say that is strong, and a super-human who is pushing through this difficult obstacle with a wide-open heart," DeLonge said on Twitter.
