Dave Coulier is feeling the love from his former Full House costars after telling them about his cancer diagnosis.

“I didn’t want them to hear it from someone else, so I sent a text message out,” Coulier, 65, said during an interview with People published on Wednesday, November 13.

The actor, who portrayed Joey Gladstone on Full House from 1987 to 1995 and made appearances on the Fuller House revival, said the response from his TV family “was immediate.”

“It was just this outpouring of, ‘I will be there. You just name the time, and I know you’re in great hands with [wife Melissa Bring], but what can we do?’” Coulier recalled. “It really is overwhelming the love that we have for each other. We’ve been there for so many years for each other, and it’s pretty remarkable.”

Actor Dave Coulier has stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, he revealed in an interview with People, published on Wednesday, November 13. The Full House alum, 65, is currently undergoing treatment and hopes to be in remission when he completes his chemotherapy in February 2025. After a bone marrow test came back negative, Coulier said the recovery […]

The тιԍнт-knit crew have weathered tragedy before. Bob Saget, who played Full House patriarch Danny Tanner, died at age 65 in 2022, and Coulier said the loss brought the group even closer.

“I think we value not only our lives together, but we value our lives,” he said. “We value those good times and the positive moments that we’ve gotten to share. … There’s not many negatives when I’m with that group of people. It’s really just laughter and positivity, and we appreciate so much what we have in our lives and the people around us.”

John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse on the beloved sitcom, has plans to visit Coulier later this week as he undergoes chemotherapy treatment.

“He goes, ‘If you want to just sleep, I’ll just sit by you. Or if you want to listen to music or just talk, whatever,’” Coulier said Stamos, 61, told him ahead of the visit. “And I’m just like, ‘Wow. That’s, like, a brother. That’s just truly a brother.’”

Dave Coulier and Melissa Bring formed a strong relationship before saying “I do.” Coulier met Bring in 2005, over a decade after he and his ex-wife, Jayne Modean, ended their two-year marriage in 1992. (The exes welcomed their only child, son Luc, in 1990.) Coulier popped the question to Bring after nine years of dating […]

Coulier received his stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis in October after an upper respiratory infection resulted in severe swelling of his lymph nodes. A subsequent biopsy and PET and CT scans showed that he had “very aggressive” cancer.

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

Coulier has already gotten some good news amid his cancer battle — learning that the disease, which begins in the body’s lymphatic system, hadn’t spread to his bone marrow.

“At that point, my chances of curable went from something low to [the] 90 percent range,” he said. “And so that was a great day.”

Coulier is feeling motivated to keep fighting for Brig, whom he married in 2014,

“I’m going to be strong throughout this, not just for me, but I’m going to be strong for her,” he said.

The comedian noted that he has “a lot to look forward to” as his son Luc, 33, whom he shares with ex-wife Jayne Modean, and his wife Alex are expecting a baby boy in March.

“I’ve got to teach [my grandson] how to play hockey,” Coulier said.
