Dave Coulier, who is known for his role as Uncle Joey on Full House, has reached a milestone in his battle with cancer. The 65-year-old actor recently shared a health update, revealing that his recent biopsy showed no sign of cancer. After completing his sixth round of chemotherapy, he remains hopeful that his illness is now behind him.
Coulier first announced his diagnosis of Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma late last year. His chemotherapy experience was physically and mentally challenging, as he had to deal with symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and weakness. Despite all the challenges, though, he clung to his resolve with the support of his wife Melissa. Coulier is now hopeful of regaining his strength and getting back to living normally.

After undergoing rigorous treatment, including a PET scan that showed no cancer cells, Coulier is cautiously optimistic. A final CAT scan will confirm whether his battle with cancer is officially over, but for now, he is celebrating the encouraging news.
Throughout the course of treatment, Coulier was open about the psychological and emotional toll of cancer. He described that at some point, he did not know if he was going to be able to complete chemotherapy. Talks of dying with his wife became inevitable, especially because cancer was prevalent in his family. Thankfully, the latest test results have given him a renewed sense of hope.
Looking ahead with gratitude
After months of uncertainty, Coulier now feels more like himself again. He described his latest biopsy results as one of the few times in his life when ‘zero’ has been a great number to hear. His journey has been one marked by perseverance, and he understands that attaining full recovery needs more time.
As he gets back on his feet, Coulier cannot wait to pick up his passion for comedy and acting again. With his spirits renewed and his health normalizing, he is living life every day with gratitude. Coulier’s story is one of survival and the power of hope overcoming adversity.
