Last month, Hoppus announced that he was undergoing chemotherapy treatment and now says that his cancer “isn't bone-related, it's blood-related.”

In a YouTube video, he told fans that he’s having problems with his memory due to chemotherapy and referred to it as “chemo brain.” As he posted, he mentioned that he was going in for a PET scan on Wednesday (July 14) and would find out if the chemotherapy was working or not.

At last check of his Twitter account on Thursday evening (7-15) he had not posted an update on his test results, instead he wrote: “Chemotherapy gives me hiccups.”
