Dave Coulier doing 'really well' after battling cancer
Published in Entertainment News
Dave Coulier is doing "really well" after battling cancer.
The Fuller House actor was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2024 and, months after getting the all-clear, was told he had HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer, but revealed in February he is now in remission. His former co-star Jodie Sweetin admitted it means "so much" to be able to hang out with her friend like they always used to.
Speaking about the Fuller House cast, she told People magazine: "We're still super close. We're all doing 90s Con in Hartford this coming weekend. Yeah, we're like obnoxiously annoyingly close. Andrea Barber and I just stayed at Dave Coulier's for a weekend. Yeah, we're a family.
"[Dave is doing] really well. He's doing great. We did an arts fundraiser for arts programmes in Detroit called The Coney that we went out there and did. It was so much fun and he's doing great.
"[He has had] such a tough battle. Sitting around and having coffee with him in the morning meant so much."
Dave recently revealed his cancer treatment has changed his voice after fans expressed their concerns.
He said in a video shared to Instagram: "I haven't posted in quite a while, and the last time I did some of you said that I look differently and I sound differently, and I do.
"What you're seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through carcinoma in my throat.
"I haven't been able to eat solid food in months, and so I've lost 45 pounds. That's what you're seeing, and it's affected my ability to speak.
"Some of you said that I sound differently. So yeah, you're right on with what you are seeing and what you hearing."
Despite the changes, the 66-year-old actor is "very pleased" with the current state of his health.
He added: "But just to recap, a year and a half ago I had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and I went through chemotherapy, and my hair is kind of growing back. And we got our PET scans back, and the prognosis looks good for both the carcinoma in my throat and the lymphoma. So we're very pleased with all of that."
When he confirmed he was in remission, Dave admitted the last few years had been a "rollercoaster ride".
During an appearance on Good Morning America, he said: "It's been a rollercoaster ride for sure ... I'm in remission with both cancers and what a journey this has been.
"Even though I'm in remission, I feel like cancer is always in the rear-view mirror ... so early detection really means everything."
