AOL.com's Noisecreep caught up with Blink 182's Tom DeLonge about his cancer scare in 2010 and how that inspired him to team with the Keep A Breast Foundation:

"When they say that C word, you can't believe it." Blink-182 guitarist-vocalist Tom DeLonge recounted the scary day last year at the doctor, after someone noticed a strange-looking spot on his chest. "It was just a little thing," he told Noisecreep. "Someone pointed it out and said, 'You should get that checked out.' I did, next thing I know it's 'By the way, you have cancer."

DeLonge's melanoma diagnosis was dealt with quickly, and today he's confident that they got everything. "They can never tell you completely that it's perfect but it looks like all is okay. I didn't have to get any chemotherapy or radiation. I was on the edge of having to do it, but thankfully, no."

Today, while on the 2011 Honda Civic Tour tour with his band Blink-182, sharing the bill with My Chemical Romance, DeLonge has created the opportunity for fans to get involved battling cancer, a disease which has also touched his immediate family.

"My dad has had a rare for of leukemia since I was in about 7th grade. But they've come up with some amazing drugs since then and he's doing really well today. And after my incident, I heard about Keep a Breast, they're located in a building where some of my businesses are, and I was really impressed with how they've created awareness. Those "I Heart Boobies" bracelets are huge among fans, they really help get the word out. So I'm just jumping on their bandwagon. They've done all the work and all I have to do is tell my story."

To help raise awareness, DeLonge, along with his alter ego -- Boomer, best known from Blink-182's 'First Date' video -- will be raising money for the Keep A Breast Foundation by having two packages available for fans.
