“How am I feeling today? I feel much better than yesterday,” Mark said, via Absolute Radio. “Yesterday was hellish for me and I woke up today feeling better. I went for a walk, and I had a decent breakfast, and I haven’t felt like I was going to throw up today, so we’ll take it as a win.”

“On good days, I go do stuff. I went on a walk outside today and it was the first time I’d left my house in like… five days pretty much,” Mark continued. “But 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.”

He added, “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.”

Mark also said that he “can’t go anywhere right now” due to chemotherapy.

“I wanted to go to the Dodgers last night – I can’t. I want to go hang out with friends and go to a restaurant – I can’t,” Mark said. “My white blood cell count is way too low for me to go out so I am stuck trying to get better. That’s alright, I’ll take it.”

Mark
first announced last week that he was recently diagnosed with cancer.

After going public with his diagnosis, Mark got lots of love and support from his bandmate Travis Barker.
