Dave Coulier Described the Cancer as ‘Very Aggressive’

According to People, Coulier said one area around his lymph nodes grew “the size of a golf ball,” and they he had scans and a biopsy, which led to the cancer diagnosis.

“Three days later, my doctors called me back and they said, ‘We wish we had better news for you, but you have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and it’s called B cell and it’s very aggressive,’” he told People.

“I went from, I got a little bit of a head cold to I have cancer, and it was pretty overwhelming,” he says. “This has been a really fast roller coaster ride of a journey,” he said to People.

“We all kind of put our heads together and said, ‘Okay, where are we going?’ And they had a very specific plan for how they were going to treat this,” he told People. “At that point, my chances of curable went from something low to 90% range. And so that was a great day.”

Melissa Bring, Coulier’s wife, wrote in Stamos’s comment thread, “Love you PP – thank you for the daily support and love!! ❤️❤️”

Coulier also told Kotb that he hoped to help others with the news. “If I can help someone who’s watching today get an early screening — a breast exam, a colonoscopy, a prostate exam — go do it,” he said. “For me, early detection meant everything,” he said.
