Wednesday, November 13, 2024 3:16PMDave Coulier, the actor who found fame as Uncle Joey on"Full House," said he has been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
"In that time I've had three surgeries, I've had chemo, I've lost a little bit of hair," he said, patting his head. "I kind of look like a baby bird now, but it has been a rollercoaster ride, for sure.""The onset of this growing lymphoma in my groin area was very quick so I said 'Something's not right, I have a golf ball down here,'" he told Kotb.
The actor said he was home alone when he received the news, and when he told his wife, Melissa, that the tests had found cancer, she told him to "quit making jokes." Then there was the hurdle of finding out the staging of the cancer."At that point the curability rate went up to 90 plus percent, so it's very treatable," he said.
The star said he's had one round of chemotherapy so far, with another coming up this week. He joked about preemptively cutting his hair, which allows him to fit in his hockey helmet better and makes him "more aerodynamic on the ice."
