'Full House' alum Dave Coulier announced he was recently diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma after catching an upper respiratory infection
The Full House alum, 65, told People in an interview published on Wednesday, November 13, that he received his diagnosis in October after an upper respiratory infection resulted in severe swelling of his lymph nodes. After one area grew to the size of a golf ball, Coulier underwent PET and CT scans and a biopsy.
Coulier said he and his wife, Melissa Bring, advised friends of theirs in the medical field and worked to create “a very specific plan for how they were going to treat this.” He noted that his recovery rate “went from something low to 90 percent range” after a bone marrow test came back negative. Coulier continued to open up about his cancer diagnosis on Wednesday’s episode of his “Full House Rewind” podcast, explaining that he was wearing a hat after choosing to shave his head. “That was really a conscious decision of, I'm going to meet this head-on, and I want people to know it's my life,” he shared. “I'm not going to try and hide anything. I would rather talk about it and open the discussion and inspire people.
