Dave Coulier Faces Cancer Battle With Positivity Amid Tough Times

LOS ANGELES, CA — Dave Coulier, the beloved actor known for his role on ‘Full House,’ is navigating a challenging battle against cancer. His wife, Melissa Bring, revealed the emotional toll of their conversations as Coulier underwent his fifth round of chemotherapy.

“After [the fifth round of] chemo, he was like, ‘I don’t know if I could do this again,'” Bring shared. “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.” These honest discussions have underscored the reality of Coulier’s health challenges.

Since his diagnosis of stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in October 2024, Coulier has displayed a mixture of realism and hope. He has faced the disease with optimism, despite the gravity of his situation, influenced by past family experiences with cancer.

“I think everybody’s mind goes there. It’s part of the reality of life,” he stated in a recent interview. “Like, ‘Wow, this is really serious’ and ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’ I’ve seen it so often in my family.” Coulier completed his sixth round of chemotherapy recently, continuing to fight against this aggressive illness.

In the face of challenging days, Bring highlighted Coulier’s resilience and the importance of maintaining a positive outlook. “He has some really tough days. And as the chemo has been accumulating, it gets a little tougher and more difficult. He has such a positive attitude, and you need that in order to really fight it,” she explained.

To celebrate the good moments, the couple engages in light-hearted activities to lift their spirits. “Every morning, if he’s feeling up for it, we try to put on a song and do a little dance party with the dogs, because when you do feel good, you have to celebrate that too,” Bring added.

As Coulier continues his treatment, his resilience and the support of his loved ones remain pivotal in his fight against cancer.
