Dave Coulier, an actor and comedian who found fame as Uncle Joey on “Full House,” has revealed he has been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer.
Coulier shared the news Wednesday during an interview on “Today.” He told the show’s co-anchor Hoda Kotb that he was diagnosed five weeks ago.
“In that time I’ve had three surgeries, I’ve had chemo, I’ve lost a little bit of hair,” he said, patting his head. “I kind of look like a baby bird now, but it has been a rollercoaster ride, for sure.”
Coulier said he has “B cell lymphoma,” which he described as “aggressive.”
“The onset of this growing lymphoma in my groin area was very quick so I said ‘Something’s not right, I have a golf ball down here,’” he told Kotb. “And so we biopsed it, we took it out, and they said ‘You know, we wish we had better news for you, but you have B cell lymphoma, we need to get you into chemotherapy right away.’”
According to the American Cancer Society, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is one of the most common cancers in the U.S., accounting for about 4 per cent of all cancers.
The actor said he was home alone when he received the news, and when he told his wife, Melissa, that the tests had found cancer, she told him to “quit making jokes.” Then there was the hurdle of finding out the staging of the cancer.
