Full House Alum Dave Coulier Reveals He Has Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Dave Coulier, best known for his role as Joey Gladstone on the hit TV show "Full House," revealed on Monday that he has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the lymph nodes. It is the most common type of lymphoma, accounting for about 90% of all cases.
The symptoms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma can vary depending on the stage of the cancer. In the early stages, there may be no symptoms. As the cancer progresses, symptoms can include:
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Fever
- Night sweats
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
Treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma depends on the stage of the cancer and the patient's overall health. Treatment options can include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and stem cell transplantation.
The prognosis for non-Hodgkin lymphoma varies depending on the stage of the cancer and the patient's overall health. In general, the earlier the cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the prognosis.
Coulier said that he is "grateful for the support of his family and friends" and that he is "looking forward to getting back to work and making people laugh again."
We wish Dave Coulier all the best in his fight against non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
