Dave Coulier opens up about painful cancer battle

Full House star Dave Coulier has opened up about the side effects of chemotherapy.

“The side effects have side effects,” Coulier, 65, said in the latest episode of his Full House Rewind podcast.

He continued: “And then you take a drug to counteract that and this and that. So it’s this constant cocktail where your body is in fight or flight mode and you’re just trying to adjust to, ‘Okay, how am I adjusting to steroids? How am I adjusting to the chemo cocktail?’”

Coulier remarked that his body is in the state of “a constant fight.”

“It’s a little bit of an internal battle,” he continued.

In November 2024, the Fuller House star shared that he is battling aggressive Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

He got his diagnosis after first suffering from an infection of the upper respiratory tract that resulted in severe swelling of his lymph nodes. This led to PET and CT scans, which unmasked the cancer.

“Three days later, my doctors called me back and they said, ‘We wish we had better news for you, but you have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and it’s called B cell and it’s very aggressive,” Coulier told the publication at the time.

“I went from, ‘I got a little bit of a head cold’ to, ‘I have cancer’ and it was pretty overwhelming. This has been a really fast roller coaster ride of a journey,” he shared.
