The “Full House” star was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2024 and p16 squamous carcinoma in late 2025. He has been in remission since February.
WASHINGTON — Dave Coulier is sharing a health update with fans after two back-to-back cancer battles in the last few years.
The “Full House” star took to Instagram to address concerns about his appearance and his health.
In 2024, the actor shared he’d been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma and was cancer-free five months later. In late 2025, he revealed he had another cancer diagnosis, this time p16 squamous carcinoma, a type of head and neck cancer found at the base of his tongue. He announced he was in remission in February.
“It’s me Dave and I haven’t posted in quite a while and the last time I did some of you said I look differently and I sound differently and I do. What you’re seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat,” he said.”
“I haven’t been able to eat solid food in months so I’ve lost 45 pounds. That’s what you’re seeing and it’s affected my ability to speak,” he added.
Coulier also shared that his hair is “kind of” growing back after the chemotherapy for the lymphoma. In a positive update, he shared that his recent PET scans have been good.
“The prognosis looks good for both the carcinoma in my throat and the lymphoma. So we’re very pleased with all of that,” Coulier said.
The 66-year-old actor said he’s been busy creating artwork and working on his wellness brand AwearMarket.
“I hope good comes to all of you,” he said.
