Hoppus explained to fans on a Twitch live stream that he has diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Stage 4-a and went into details about his treatment. “My classification is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Stage 4-A, which means, as I understand it, it’s entered four different parts of my body. I don’t know how exactly they determine the four-part of it but it’s entered enough parts of my body that I’m Stage 4, which I think is the highest that it goes. So, I’m Stage 4-A,” he explained.
According to Page Six, Hoppus said he’s been receiving chemotherapy treatment and was scheduled to meet with his doctor to see if they have been working.
