Dave Coulier Shares New Cancer Diagnosis 9 Months After Beating Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Dave Coulier is embarking on another health battle. 

Less than a year after the Full House star beat his diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, he shared he was diagnosed with HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer in October. 

“It is a shock to the system,” Dave admitted to Today Dec. 2. “To go through chemotherapy and feel that relief of whoa, it’s gone, and then to get a test that says, well now you’ve got another kind of cancer.”

The 66-year-old—who has been married to Melissa Bring since 2014—admitted it had been a “really tough” year, noting that his latest diagnosis was found by a chance discovery during a follow-up scan. 

“A couple of months ago, I had a PET scan, and something flared on the scan,” Dave—dad to son Luc, 35, with ex Jayne Modean—explained. “The doctor said, ‘We don’t know what it is, but there’s something at the base of your tongue.’”
