The blink 182 general discussion topic

[NotNow]

I don’t want to seem too doom and gloom, but him not saying the type of cancer makes me fear it’s bad.

[Ghent]

The fact that he didn’t say what kind of cancer scares me even more. I know its personal, but still makes me fear for the worst

Are we the same person?

I’ve been thinking the same. God damnit. I hope it isn’t colon cancer. That seems to be bringing down good men younger and younger these days.

This news is absolutely gutting.

I guess I kind of assumed he had cancer based on what he said that time on stream, but since it was never mentioned again I kind of just forgot about it and assumed it was taken care of like Tom’s cancer scare was. Cancer is fucking scary. I lost an 11 year old cousin to cancer. I lost a dog to cancer. My dad had cancer, and thankfully he got through it. I really hope Mark will be okay. I know I don’t really, but it feels like I have more of a connection to the blink guys than to any other celebrity. I hate the thought of any of them suffering. Tom’s gone through debilitating back pain, Travis was in the crash, and this. I just want them all to be okay, man. I like these guys a lot no matter how much I poke fun at them on here.

I’m very sorry about your cousin and your dog. Glad to hear your Dad made it through. I feel the same way about the blink guys man and I’m sure most of us do here. I actually shed a few tears earlier thinking about it. I didn’t realize I truly cared that much but they shaped so many of us from prepubescents/teens to adulthood. They’re the Beatles for a lot of us.

At the very least, happy to see the outpouring of support on Mark's server. Hoping for the best.

I don’t want to be “that guy,” but I’m kind of curious…

Why drop the news now, after 3 months? 
 

This, along with the way in which he worded part of his statement kind of has me worried.

 

Hopefully I’m just looking too far into it.

Nooooo Mark!!!! Fuck I hope he's doing ok. I hate that he said he's scared. My mom just told me today at my day job she has cancer in her liver. I got off the phone and saw a text from my buddy about Mark.

My mom and Mark share the same birthday. Wtf...

It was clearly an accident. Most likely meant to post to close friends and messed up. Highly doubt he wanted to announce through a random Instagram story like let’s get some cancer treatment jokingly like we all already knew it was a thing.

Gotta go with that option.

Very sorry to hear about your Mother! I really hope she’s able to beat cancer as quickly as possibly. Much love man 

[Russel Coight]

I’ve just been so sad about this. Poor Mark. He’s the nicest fucking cunt in the whole wide world. This shit is so unfair.

[Thomas D.]

Oh god, not cancer. I’ve seen it destroy the strongest people I knew. I hope he was diagnosed quickly enough for him to have a chance. Bless you Mark

[Scott.]

This news has made me feel sick 

[Elisa]

I went to bed last night and I couldn't stop thinking about it. Then had a little cry. Goddammit, fuck cancer. This really hurts and it feels like it‘s happening to a close friend. I hope he kicks cancer’s ass and I hope he feels the love from all of us idiots who've cared about him our entire life.

Good people are ripping Blink Italia for posting this after Mark deleted it. 

I had a feeling that they would repost this without respecting any bondaries and not respecting Mark ...

Blink 182 Italia has officially become Buzzfeed

That's so terrible news, I hope that Mark will recover soon and quickly ❤️❤️
