ALUM Full House DAVE COULLIER recalls the most difficult parts of his treatment against cancer after receiving a diagnosis at the end of last year.
The American actor learned that he had a non -Hodgkin’s lymphoma from stadium 3 in November – a type of cancer that affects lymphatic and immune systems – revealing that he first noticed symptoms in October after having contracted a respiratory infection that caused swelling in his lymphatic nodes around the groin and armpits.
“He inflated immediately,” said Coulier Today in November. “I thought: ‘Wow, I am either Really sickOr my body really reacts to something.
Subsequent analyzes, as well as a biopsy, led to a diagnosis. In three days, Coulier was in treatment.
He provided an update towards the end of last year, saying to NBC Today That in the five weeks following his diagnosis, he had undergone three surgeries, started chemo and lost some of his hair.
Coulier fell patient again after finishing a sixth and last cycle of chemotherapy at the end of February, telling the parade magazine that in the depths of treatment, It is difficult not to contemplate death.
“I started to become quite sick,” he said to the publication, “I didn’t know that I had caught a virus. I was in bed for about 10 days trying to understand:” Do I have a cold? Am I just the ramifications of this cumulative effect of chemo? What’s going on? “”
In a similar turn of the events that led to his initial diagnosis, the recent disease of Coulier, which he had alleged was another cold, was caused by “deposits” in his lungs.
“There is one thing called (glass opacity on the ground (GGO)). On a scan, in your lungs, it looks like glass particles,” said a parade coulier.
This, associated with a cold, he says, “wreaked havoc in my system.”

His wife, Melissa Coulier, insisted that he visits the doctor for an exam. If she hadn’t done it, Coulier said he may have never recovered.
These complications made him difficult to celebrate the victories, especially when he finished his last chemo cycle.
“I was in such a stunning when I got out of the hospital, my wife looked at me (when) we got into the car, and she said:” We forgot to ring, “he said.
Coulier explained that each treatment, the side effects have been exacerbated. He described feeling nauseous and experienced neuropathy – a type of nerve lesions and a well -documented side effect of chemotherapy which causes numbness, pain and tingling, often in hands and feet.
“The nausea began to increase. The dizziness began to increase. They call it a brain chemo, where you are a little misty-which has started to increase. My days of being able to get up and walking and being active have started to decrease,” he said.
Some days he could not get out of bed.
“I wanted to move and go out and, you know, working in the house, I just couldn’t. There was so much fatigue linked to cancer which gradually aggravated and worse, and I thought: “Wow, that’s how it will happen,” he continued.
Coulier then credited his 11 -year -old wife for taking care of everything, his diet to modify his sheets and the management of his drugs.
“See my exhausted wife on the days I said to myself:” Can you get water? ” And “I haven’t taken my pills yet” … She ran into tatters, helping me. “People who are going through this know exactly what I’m talking about.”
He also mentioned his friend John Stamos, who faced a backlash in November for a photo he shared with a coulier sporting a bald cap in a gesture of solidarity.
“I think people have misunderstood my personal relationship with my friends John Stamos,” said Coulier.
“He knows what makes me laugh, and when he came out like that, I fell on the ground.
The Coulier family has resisted numerous family tragedies linked to health over the years.
His mother, Arlen, died of breast cancer at 82. His sister Sharon died of breast cancer at 36, just like his niece Shannon at 29 years old.
His father, David, died in 2022 at 91, shortly after the brother of Coulier, Dan committed suicide in 2021, near his 59th anniversary. His older sister, Karen, also lives with cancer.
