For \u201cFull House\u201d star Dave Coulier, his cancer journey has \u201cbeen a roller coaster ride, for sure.\u201d Now that ride has seemingly come to an end. <\/p>\n
Coulier announced Wednesday, to commemorate World Cancer Day, that he is cancer-free for the second time. The actor-comedian shared the news with \u201cGood Morning America<\/a>\u201d anchor Robin Roberts, a breast cancer survivor. <\/p>\n Beloved for his portrayal of Uncle Joey in \u201cFull House,\u201d Coulier was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2024 <\/a>and diagnosed in December with a form of tongue cancer.<\/a> \u201cI\u2019m in remission with both cancers,\u201d he said Wednesday, \u201cand what a journey this has been.\u201d<\/p>\n Coulier, 66, first revealed his cancer battle in November 2024, telling People<\/a> and NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d <\/a>that his lymphoma diagnosis came after he contracted an upper respiratory infection that caused major swelling in his lymph nodes. He said at the time that his diagnosis with the blood cancer \u201cwas pretty overwhelming.\u201d Coulier announced in late March that he had completed his final round of chemotherapy for that cancer. <\/p>\n Months later, in December, Coulier returned to \u201cToday\u201d to share he had been diagnosed with \u201cP16 squamous carcinoma at the base of [his] tongue.\u201d He said he learned of the cancer during a check-up and that the two cancers are \u201ctotally unrelated.\u201d At the time, he told anchor Craig Melvin he needed to undergo 35 rounds of radiation treatment for tongue cancer and intended to complete treatment by the end of the year. <\/p>\n During Wednesday\u2019s segment, Coulier emphasized the importance of early detection and the toll his radiation treatments took. \u201cIt can steal part of your life away from you \u2014 psychologically, emotionally and certainly physically,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n \u201cI wasn\u2019t gonna allow cancer to do that,\u201d the actor said. \u201cI was gonna laugh my way through it and keep the people I love close to me. That helps.\u201d<\/p>\n
