‘Full House’ star Dave Coulier reveals he’s been diagnosed with ‘very aggressive’ cancer
“Full House” star, 65, revealed on Wednesday that he has stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.He appeared on Today and said he first noticed his symptoms several months ago when he got a cold, and then spotted a large lump in his groin.“It swelled up immediately,” he said. “I thought, ‘Wow, I’m either really sick, or my body’s really reacting to something.’”Coulier visited a doctor and was informed of his diagnosis five weeks ago, which came as a complete shock to the actor. “The first thing I said to them was, ‘Wait a minute — cancer?’” he recalled. “(I was) feeling like I got punched in the stomach because it never happens to you.
You always hear about it happening to someone else.”Coulier confirmed that he started chemo two weeks into his diagnosis. He shaved his head which he revealed during his Today interview. “You hear chemo, and it scares the daylights out of you,” he said. “The first round was pretty intense because you don’t know what to expect.
You don’t know how you’re going to feel. Is this going to hit me immediately? Is it going to be devastating? Am I going to walk out of here?”Coulier said he has six rounds of chemo every three weeks and is expected to finish his treatment by February.“It’s been a bit of a roller coaster.
There (are) days where I feel unbelievable,” he shared, adding, “Then there’s other days where … I’m just going to lay down and let this be what it’s going to be.”He also revealed that his wife of ten years, Melissa Bring Coulier, has been supportive since his diagnosis.
