Dave Coulier defends John Stamos over bald cap cancer backlash: ‘This is how we are handling a very tough time’
for wearing a bald cap as a way of supporting Coulier amid his stage 3 cancer battle. “I’m sorry to see a bunch of negative comments as I’ve just begun my cancer journey,” Coulier wrote in an Instagram statement.“It’s our friendship (me and John) and this is how we are handling a very tough time,” the actor continued. “I’m a comedian and humor is what drives me.
John knows how to cheer me up and I laughed out loud when he arrived wearing a bald cap — being a true loving friend and brother.”Coulier, who has stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, went on, “I’ve heard from so many people who have been inspired enough by my words and actions to say that they are going to check in with their doctors and get mammograms, a colonoscopy or a prostate exam.
I’m still laughing in the face of adversity.”“I lost my sister, Sharon, my mother, Arlen and my niece, Shannon to cancer, we tried to stay positive, and we made each other laugh through the worst of it,” he explained. “So, I’m choosing to spread the word about early cancer detective to help people.
That’s just who I am.”“I wish nothing but love for all of you,” Coulier concluded his message.One week after Coulier announced his cancer diagnosis, Stamos posted an Instagram where he showed off his bald cap and Coulier’s shaved head.
