Dave Coulier is opening up about how the Full House cast learned about his cancer diagnosis. The beloved Uncle Joey revealed the heartbreaking news on Wednesday he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma last month.
He’s already tackling it with chemo and the support of his loved ones — including the Full House crew. In an interview with People, he revealed he broke the news to his castmates himself, all at once.
The group text included co-stars John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler, and Scott Weigner who played Steve, as well as show creator Jeff Franklin.
He told the outlet: Good for him. After being so close with him for nearly 40 years, it would be a shame if they learned about it online.
