Dave Coulier is revealing a very exciting life update regarding his health.
On Wednesday, February 4, which was World Cancer Day, the Full House star announced on Good Morning America that he is now in remission after being diagnosed with two different types of cancer in two years.
The last several years have been nothing short of a “roller coaster”, Coulier noted, saying, "I’m in remission with both cancers. And what a journey this has been."
In December of 2025, Coulier publicly revealed that he had been diagnosed with tongue cancer. The news came after he had just beaten non-Hodgkin lymphoma months earlier.
Coulier was “shocked” by the diagnosis, which he said came after his doctor noticed something abnormal when he came in for his 6-month checkup and PET scan. Initially, he questioned whether this could be connected to his past diagnosis, but he would eventually be told that the two cancers were unrelated.
"It turns out, if I hadn’t had that PET scan, then they wouldn’t have had this early of a detection, and I’d have been in [...] a world of pain soon. So as weird as this sounds, I’m now actually thankful for the first cancer, because it helped me detect this second one,” he said.
The comedian would have to go through a painful surgery in which part of his tongue was removed. He then had to undergo 35 rounds of radiation.
Coulier previously spoke about the debilitating toll that radiation has on a person, saying that it can “steal parts of your life away from you, psychologically, emotionally, and certainly physically.”
Nevertheless, Coulier was determined to use laughter to battle his way through it.
Coulier has had lots of support throughout this journey, particularly from his wife, Melissa Bring, and his close friend and former co-star, John Stamos.
"John flew into Michigan, came and visited us, and made me laugh. He's my brother. He wore a bald cap, and when he came around the corner dressed like that, I dropped to the floor laughing,” he shared previously.
Now that Coulier is cancer-free, he says he hopes to help others by sharing his experience and spreading awareness about the importance of early cancer detection.
