I know you’re going to get through this, and I’m proud to stand with you every step of the way. I love you.”

The Full House alum, 65, is currently undergoing treatment and hopes to be in remission when he completes his chemotherapy in February 2025. After a bone marrow test came back negative, Coulier said the recovery […]

“I went from, ‘I got a little bit of a head cold’ to ‘I have cancer,’ and it was pretty overwhelming,” he said, noting it hadn’t spread to his bone marrow. “At that point, my chances of curable went from something low to [the] 90 percent range. And so that was a great day.”

Coulier, who’s undergoing chemotherapy treatment, told the outlet that he hadn’t wanted his Full House castmates to hear about his condition “from someone else, so I sent a text message out. It was just this outpouring of, ‘I will be there. You just name the time, and I know you’re in great hands with [wife Melissa], but what can we do?’ It really is overwhelming the love that we have for each other. We’ve been there for so many years for each other, and it’s pretty remarkable.”

“He goes, ‘If you want to just sleep, I’ll just sit by you. Or if you want to listen to music or just talk, whatever,’” Coulier recalled Stamos telling him. “And I’m just like, ‘Wow. That’s, like, a brother. That’s just truly a brother.’”

Full House, which ran from 1987 to 1995, followed Danny () as he attempted to raise his three daughters — D.J. (Cameron Bure), Stephanie () and Michelle ( and ) — after his wife’s death. Danny’s brother-in-law, Jesse (Stamos), and best friend Joey (Coulier) subsequently moved in to help him out. Most of the original cast returned for the Netflix revival, Fuller House, which aired from 2016 to 2020.

In 2022, the cast mourned the loss of Saget, who died at age 65 in his Orlando, Florida, hotel room. One month later, the Orange County, Florida, medical examiner confirmed that Saget’s passing was the result of “blunt head trauma” from an “accidental” fall.
