It has been announced that Full House star Dave Coulier has been diagnosed with an "aggressive" cancer.
Dave Coulier has stage 3 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, after suffering from an upper respiratory infection that caused swelling in his lymph nodes — one area swelling up to the size of a golf ball. His doctors advised him to get the appropriate scans done (CAT and PET), as well as a biopsy, and ultimately, it showed the life-changing diagnosis.
Dave Coulier said that his bone marrow test came back negative, noting that his cancer is treatable. "At that point, my chances of curable went from something low to 90% range. And so that was a great day," he explained.
And speaking to "The Today Show" about his diagnosis and why he is going public with it, he said, "The one thing that just kept presenting itself to me was to tell other people about it. Talk to them about getting something as simple as pre-screening or a breast exam, mammogram, a colonoscopy or a prostate exam. It’s a really simple thing to do and it can add years to your life.
