Dave Coulier Has Fantastic News About His Cancer Battle
"Full House" star Dave Coulier is cancer-free after revealing his stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis last year.
Dave Coulier is cancer-free!
A representative for Coulier confirmed the news to PEOPLE on March 31.
The “Full House” star revealed to PEOPLE in November 2024 that he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma in October. He learned he had cancer “after an upper respiratory infection caused major swelling in his lymph nodes.” The swelling increased, and his doctors ordered PET and CT scans along with a biopsy. That’s when the cancer diagnosis was revealed.
“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,’” he said in the interview with PEOPLE in November.

In an interview with Parade, Coulier revealed that he finished his sixth and final round of chemotherapy in February.
“I was in such a daze when I walked out of the hospital, my wife looked at me [when] we got in the car, and she goes, ‘We forgot to ring the bell,’” Coulier told the magazine.
While he is officially cancer-free, the entire process really took its toll on his body.
“The symptoms were getting worse and worse with each treatment,” Coulier explained. “So neuropathy, which I hadn’t experienced before, started to increase. Nausea started to increase. Dizziness started to increase. They call it chemo brain, where you’re a bit foggy — that started to increase. My days of being able to get up and walk around and be active started to decrease.”
“Some days, I just didn’t want to do anything,” he added. “Though I wanted to move around and go out and, you know, work around the house, I just couldn’t. There was so much cancer-related fatigue that got progressively worse and worse and worse, and I thought, ‘Wow, this is how it’s going to go.’”
