Dave Coulier is shedding light on the challenging journey of his ongoing cancer recovery while also offering fans a glimpse of optimism.
In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram this past Friday, the former “Full House” star provided an honest update on his health, several months after disclosing his battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
“Hi, it’s Dave, with an update,” Coulier began, addressing the noticeable changes in his appearance and voice that followers have observed recently.
The beloved actor attributed these changes to the “extensive radiation” treatments he has undergone to address carcinoma in his throat, alongside his fight against lymphoma.
Coulier candidly discussed the significant physical impact of the treatment, revealing that he hasn’t been able to consume solid food for months and has experienced a weight loss of 45 pounds. Additionally, the radiation has affected his ability to speak.
Despite the tough recovery process, the comedian shared some hopeful updates, bringing a ray of light to his dedicated fans.
According to Coulier, recent scans and his overall prognosis are looking positive for both the carcinoma in his throat and the lymphoma.
While recovering away from the spotlight, Coulier said he has been staying busy creatively, spending time making artwork and doing creative writing offline.
The update prompted an outpouring of support from friends and fans in the comments section.
Kelly Rizzo, the widow of late “Full House” star Bob Saget, wrote, “You are so very loved, Dave. And truly no one is stronger than you. God bless you wonderful friend. Wish Bob was here to make you laugh.”
His former “Full House” co-star Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy Gibbler on the sitcom, also shared her support, commenting, “You’re as handsome and funny as ever. I love you, poo poo!”
Earlier this year, Coulier appeared on “Good Morning America” to share another update on his recovery journey.
“It’s been a roller coaster ride for sure,” Coulier said during a live February 2026 interview. “I’m in remission with both cancers. And what a journey this has been.”
The actor also used the appearance to encourage others to stay proactive about their health and screenings.
“I never wanted to be the poster boy for cancer, believe me, but now I feel like I can encourage people to get those prostate exams and mammograms and just talk to your doctors and get ahead of this,” he said. “Because even though I’m in remission, I feel like cancer is always in the rear-view mirror … so early detection really means everything.”
