Dave Coulier is keeping it real when it comes to his health, as he believes speaking up can inspire others. The sitcom star was diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after he came down with a cold and noticed swelling in his neck, armpits, and groin.
As the lumps in his neck region got worse, he immediately underwent a series of tests, including blood work, EKG, PET, and CT scans, which returned shocking results. He soon informed his Full House cast mates, who showed their support on social media after he made the update public.
What cancer does Dave Coulier have?
Dave’s cancer is also known as B-cell lymphoma, and it develops in the lymphatic tissues, thereby affecting his immunity. Thankfully, a further bone marrow test strongly indicates that Dave’s condition has a 90% chance of getting cured as it had not yet spread.
The 65-year-old is currently undergoing rounds of chemotherapy, with five sessions left until February 2025. He noted that he does not feel sick at all times and uses such opportunities to make new episodes for his Full House Rewind podcast. Dave and his loved ones hope he goes into total remission in a few months.
