Dave Coulier Shares Uplifting Message Amid Ongoing Cancer Battle: “Remember to Laugh”
Dave Coulier is sharing a closer look at his cancer journey.
Two weeks after the Full House alum confirmed he was cancer-free following a five-month battle with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, he shared insight into his chemotherapy treatment.
“They say they have to kill you in order to save your life,” Dave told former costars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber on the April 17 episode of the How Rude, Tanneritos! podcast. “There were times where I felt like, ‘I don’t know how many more of these I can do.’”
He noted that along with his hair falling out, he suffered nerve damage, muscle cramps, spasms, dizziness and vertigo while undergoing his treatment.
“Everybody’s different,” he explained. “There’s no there’s no cookie-cutter result for people because our physiology is different and our genetics are different.”
While Dave said he was fine after his first two rounds of chemotherapy, he admitted that the third one “really did a number” on him.
“It just started to hit me where I couldn’t get out of bed,” the 65-year-old said. “I had shortness of breath. I was really weak.”
