    Dave Coulier has been on a "rollercoaster ride" with his cancer treatment

    The 'Full House' actor - who revealed in November 2024 he had been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma - is currently undergoing chemotherapy and has experienced a wide range of "different effects" from the various medications he has been taking to help with his symptoms.


    Speaking on his 'Full House Rewind' podcast, he said: "People who are watching the show or listening to the show, who have been here before, you know that it's a roller coaster, because the side effects have side effects - and then you take a drug to counteract that and this and that.

    "So it's this constant cocktail where your body is in fight or flight mode and you're just trying to adjust to, 'Okay, how am I adjusting to steroids? How am I adjusting to the chemo cocktail?'

    "It's a little bit of an internal battle."

    The 65-year-old comedian noted his treatment is "going well" but lamented the fact his hair hasn't grown back.

    He said: "I realise how much that hair keeps you warm. Gets a little cold here in Michigan where I'm at."

    But he joked it would be nice in the summer "like a little air conditioning on your head".

    Dave is pleased his own story has helped raise awareness of the disease and explained that since going public with his own diagnosis, he has "heard from so many people who have been affected by cancer in their lives."

    He added: "The words of encouragement have, I think, really helped people. So that, to me, is worth the journey of all of this. Just being able to alert people that it's okay to get a colonoscopy or early screenings or a mammogram, it's really worth it."

    Dave previously admitted he found chemotherapy "intense" and the treatment "scared the daylights" out of him, but he's learned to take things one day at a time.

    He said: "There [are] days where I feel unbelievable. Then there's other days where ... I'm just going to lay down and let this be what it's going to be."
