Dave Coulier credits 'Full House' cast for their support amid cancer fight
Dave Coulier is crediting his family, including his wife Melissa Coulier and his TV family -- his fellow "Full House" castmates -- for helping him throughout his cancer journey.
"We've been a team," Coulier told Parade Magazine of his wife. "I think it would have been a totally different journey had she not been with me."
Coulier said his "Full House" castmates have also been a big support for him, especially during the last five months.
"We're a family," said Coulier. "And so we get these text strings, and it's always funny, and that keeps us connected. And, you know, Candace [Cameron Bure] has FaceTimed me a couple of times, and Lori [Loughlin] has FaceTimed me a couple times. John [Stamos] FaceTimes me like every day. We're very close. I love them all so dearly."
Dave Coulier shares positive message as he undergoes chemo: 'Remember to laugh'
Coulier said he has received six rounds of chemotherapy treatments since last fall, after he found out he had cancer.
"I just finished the sixth one," Coulier said. "And with that sixth one came the lowest point on the roller coaster ride."
After his sixth chemotherapy treatment, Coulier said he came down with a cold that led to a hospitalization.
"I was in the hospital for four days and they pumped me filled with fluids and antibiotics," the 65-year-old actor recounted. "It was a rhinovirus. Because my white blood cell count was so low, it wasn't able to fight off this common cold virus. My doctors later told me, 'If you would have waited another 48 hours, you would've been in a real battle and we might not have been able to turn this around.'"
Coulier said that in October, after the hospital stay, doctors told him he had Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Coulier revealed his cancer diagnosis publicly in November 2024, making the health announcement in an episode of the "Full House Rewind" podcast.
"My doctors called and they said, 'Well, we wish we had better news for you.' And I just went 'gulp,'" he recalled. "And they said, 'You have non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the most aggressive kind. It's called B-cell."
'Full House' alum Dave Coulier reveals cancer diagnosis: 'My own personal battle'
Coulier is now awaiting the results of a CAT scan to determine the status of his cancer but said he still has a lot to celebrate, including the arrival of a new family member.
"Just this week, Dave finally became a grandfather for the very first time," Parade Magazine's West Coast Senior Entertainment Reporter Lanae Brody shared.
"His son welcomed a baby and he and Melissa are so elated. It seems like things are finally turning around for them, and fingers crossed this is the end of that chapter and the beginning of a beautiful new one for them," Brody continued.
Coulier added, "There's a lot on my plate. I have a full house."

Jodie Sweetin Reveals the Surprising 1-Word Response Her Kids Had to Her Work on 'Full House '(Exclusive)
Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber hosted iHeartRadio's How Rude, Tanneritos! Wedding Special live event on Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Los Angeles The costars chatted with PEOPLE ahead of the event, sharing how their children fit into the Full House fold The costars appeared with John Stamos and Lori Loughlin at the live event, looking back at some of the sitcom's biggest momentsJodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber's kids aren't too impressed by their Full House fame. Speaking with PEOPLE ahead of iHeartRadio's How Rude, Tanneritos! Wedding Special live event, the costars and moms talked about how their children have reacted to their sitcom stardom. When it comes to Sweetin's two daughters — Beatrix, 14, and Zoie, 17 — she confirmed they were never interested in checking out their mom's acting roots, simply calling it "weird." Barber, who is mom to Felicity, 16, and Tate, 19, said her kids also "didn't really care," "They're just normal teenagers. They don't care what their parents do," Barber tells PEOPLE. "They were like, 'It's mom. You yell at us to go clean our room.' " Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Barber recalls a time where her son's classmates figured out she was an actress and asked him about Full House. "I showed Full House to my son when he was in second grade, because he kept going to school and the kids were like, 'Your mom's [in] Full House?'" "[He told me], 'Everyone has seen Full House, but me, Mom, why?' And so I'm like, 'Here's an episode,' but that's about it." Whenever Sweetin's kids saw it, it was because, "It was probably on Nick at Nite or something. I'm sure my mom or dad, when the kids were little, was like, 'Oh, you want to watch mom on the show?' And even at two, they were probably like, 'No.'" When it came time for the cast to reunite for Fuller House, Barber said her kids "loved coming to the live tapings on Friday nights." It gave the costars' kids a chance to connect, with Barber noting how close in age Felicity and Zoie are. "Oh my god, they loved hanging out," Sweetin agrees. "They just wanted to hang out with Michael and Soni and Elias. They didn't come to see what we did." "They were hardly ever in the audience. They were down in the schoolroom. Remember the time we were doing the scene, and I literally heard Zoie yelling in the school room in the back? And I was like, 'That's my kid,' on a tape night," she laughs. During the live show, which also featured an appearance from costars John Stamos and Lori Loughlin, the group opened up about whether they had any regrets with the original series, during which they referenced the end of the series. "I wish we had gotten a proper goodbye," Barber shared. "We didn't know we weren't coming back. We did it out of order," Stamos recalled. "The episodes where Michelle gets amnesia, which was how we ended the show, that was last to air. But we shot those first, and then the last one we shot was the one with Andrew Keegan," Loughlin explained. Stamos agreed, adding, "We didn't know... I think we found out somewhere during that week or something. They kind of said, 'Okay, well...' and that wasn't a good way to go out. But thank God we got to do Fuller House."
