Dave Coulier, "Full House" Star, Reveals Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Diagnosis
Coulier shares his diagnosis and recovery journey
"Full House" actor Dave Coulier has revealed that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2022.
Coulier, who played Joey Gladstone on the popular sitcom, shared his diagnosis and recovery journey in an interview with People magazine. He said that he first noticed a lump on his neck in the summer of 2022 and went to the doctor to get it checked out. The doctor initially thought it was a cyst, but a biopsy later revealed that it was non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the lymphocytes, which are white blood cells that fight infection.
It is the most common type of lymphoma, and there are many different subtypes. Coulier's subtype is follicular lymphoma, which is a slow-growing type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Coulier underwent six months of chemotherapy to treat his lymphoma.
He said that the treatment was difficult, but he is now in remission. "I'm so grateful to be alive," he said. "I'm so grateful for my family and friends who supported me through this." Coulier's diagnosis and recovery journey is a reminder that cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age or health. It is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of cancer and to see a doctor if you have any concerns. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of a successful outcome.
