Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus has gotten some good news from his doctors.

The 49-year-old bassist, who’s been diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, gave an update on his treatment Monday.

"Scans indicate that the chemo is working! I still have months of treatment ahead, but it's the best possible news,” he wrote on Twitter.

“I'm so grateful and confused and also sick from last week's chemo," he continued. "But the poison the doctors pump into me and the kind thoughts and wishes of people around me are destroying this cancer. Just gonna keep fighting..."

During a recent Q&A, Hoppus revealed he’s battling the same form of cancer his mother beat a few years ago.
