American actor and stand-up comedian, Dave Coulier is cancer-free just months after he revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
A representative for Coulier, 65, confirmed the actor’s cancer-free diagnosis on Monday, People reports.
Actress Candace Cameron Bure, Coulier’s “Full House” co-star, also shared the news in a social media post.
“DAVE IS CANCER FREE!!!!,” Bure wrote in an Instagram post. “Join me in celebrating this AMAZING news — let’s shower him with all the love in the world!”
Earlier Monday, Coulier opened up about his battle with cancer in an interview with Parade. He said his “symptoms were getting worse and worse with each (chemotherapy) treatment,” his last round of which he completed in February. He also revealed that the thought of death continually crept in his mind throughout his battle with cancer.
“I think everybody’s mind goes there,” Coulier said. “It’s part of the reality of life. Like, ‘Wow, this is really serious’ and ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’ I’ve seen it so often in my family.”
Coulier’s wife, Melissa, also described the difficulty of contemplating her husband’s death from cancer.
“After (the fifth round of) chemo, he was like, ‘I don’t know if I could do this again,‘” Melissa said. “He was like, ‘I’m prepared either way. If I die, I die. And if I can stay here, great. I want to.’ Those conversations were obviously so tough.”
Coulier was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in October 2024, which came after persistent symptoms – including an upper respiratory infection and swollen lymph nodes – led him to a doctor’s visit.
At the time of his interview with Parade, Coulier said he was still awaiting the results of a CAT scan which would determine if his cancer is “in the rear-view mirror.”
But now, about five months since his diagnosis, Coulier expressed gratitude to his family and friends for their support during his health challenges.
“I don’t know how else to view this other than with a positive attitude,” Coulier said. “And especially because I’m in a position where I can inspire others. A negative attitude doesn’t inspire anybody. Positivity, though, can take you a long way.”
