Dave Coulier is responding to fans who have pointed out his changing appearance following a battle with both tongue cancer and lymphoma.
In a video shared to the “Full House” star’s Instagram on Thursday, the 66-year-old actor explained how treatments for the cancer have impacted him.
“Hi everyone, it’s me Dave, and I haven’t posted in quite a while and the last time I did some of you said that I look differently, and I sound differently, and I do,” he began the video. “And what you’re seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat.”
He continued: “I haven’t been able to eat solid food in months. So I’ve lost 45 pounds, that’s what you’re seeing. And it’s affected my ability to speak, some of you have said that I speak differently. So you’re right on with what you’re seeing and what you’re hearing.”
Coulier shared earlier this year that he was in remission from tongue cancer, one year after beating stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He shared that he underwent 35 rounds of radiation, which were completed in December 2025.
In the video, he also shared some positive life updates with audiences, explaining that his “prognosis looks good” for both the cancer in his throat and the lymphoma. “So we’re very pleased with all of that,” he concluded.
The Instagram post was a joint post between Coulier and his non-toxic wellness brand Awear Market.
“I never wanted to be the poster boy for cancer, believe me,” Coulier said to “Good Morning America” host Robin Roberts when discussing his health. “But now I feel like I can encourage [people] to get prostate exams and mammograms. Talk to your doctors.”
