Barker, 45, also shared a photo on his Instagram Story with Hoppus late Wednesday and captioned it, "Love you @markhoppus" alongside the black heart emoji.
DeLonge, who left the band in 2015 but remains friends with Hoppus, sent a social media message Wednesday night about Hoppus’ strength.
"I too, have been aware of @markhoppus’s cancer diagnosis for awhile now," DeLonge, 45, tweeted. "And to add to his own words that he used today, I would also like to say that he is strong, and a super-human who is pushing through this difficult obstacle with a wide-open heart."
He added the hashtag #WeHaveHisBack.
On Wednesday, Hoppus told fans he has cancer and is in the midst of treatment.
"For the past three months I’ve been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer," he wrote on social media. "I have cancer. It sucks and I’m scared, and at the same time I’m blessed with incredible doctors and family and friends to get me through this."
Hoppus said he still has "months of treatment ahead of me" but remains "hopeful and positive."
"Can’t wait to be cancer-free and see you all at a concert in the hopefully near future. Love to you all," he added.
