Chemotherapy sessions

Days after revealing his cancer diagnosis, he shared how different he felt after a recent chemotherapy session compared to previous ones.

“This round of chemo I feel better than I have before. The only thing is that this round I’ve been more nauseous which I don’t like,” he said while livestreaming on Twitch. “I didn’t just feel like a poisoned electrified zombie leaning up against an electric fence like I did the rest, the past couple of rounds.”

He also said that he was able to do more things and leave his house for the first time in a few days. “This round of chemo, I wasn’t totally stuck on the couch, miserable. I’ve actually watched movies and walked around and cleaned the house and hung out with my dogs.”

Former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge said that he’s known about Mark’s condition for some time now and described his ex-bandmate as “a super-human who is pushing through this difficult obstacle with a wide-open heart.”

Drummer Travis Barker also expressed his support for Mark in a statement to E! News, saying, “Mark is my brother and I love and support him. I will be with him every step of the way on stage and off and can’t wait for us to play together again soon.”
