Actor Dave Coulier, who played Uncle Joey on the beloved sitcom 'Full House,' has been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, he said Wednesday. 'Five weeks ago I was diagnosed with stage three non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. And in that time, I’ve had three surgeries, I’ve had chemo, I’ve lost a little bit of hair,' the 65-year-old told NBC’s “TODAY” show. 'I kind of look like a little baby bird now, but it has been a roller coaster ride for sure,” he added.
His chemotherapy should wrap in February. “Should be total remission by that time. Fingers crossed. I'm treating this as a journey,” Coulier said. “If I can help someone who's watching today get an early screening — a breast exam, a colonoscopy, a prostate exam — go do it because, for me, early detection meant everything.” Coulier played Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom 'Full House' from 1987 to 1995, as well as in the 2016-2020 reboot 'Fuller House.
