Dave Coulier, 'Full House' Star, Diagnosed with Cancer

Actor, comedian, and former 'Morning Drive' host opens up about his health journey

Coulier shares his experience with prostate cancer and urges men to get regular screenings

Dave Coulier, best known for his role as Joey Gladstone in the popular sitcom 'Full House,' has revealed that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

In a recent interview with People magazine, Coulier shared his experience with the disease, including his initial diagnosis, treatment, and recovery

The 65-year-old actor first noticed something was wrong when he began experiencing urinary problems. After visiting his doctor, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September 2022.

Coulier underwent surgery to remove his prostate in October 2022, and he is now cancer-free.

Coulier's diagnosis has been a wake-up call for him, and he is now urging men to get regular prostate screenings.

"I'm so grateful that I caught this early," Coulier said. "I want other men to know that prostate cancer is a very treatable disease if it's caught early. Please, don't wait to get screened."

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States, with an estimated 1 in 9 men being diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime.

The American Cancer Society recommends that men over the age of 50 get a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal exam (DRE) every year.

These tests can help detect prostate cancer early, when it is most treatable.

Coulier's story is a reminder that prostate cancer is a serious disease, but it is one that can be beaten if it is caught early.

Men over the age of 50 should get regular prostate screenings to help detect the disease early and improve their chances of a successful outcome.
