‘House Full’ star reveals battle with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma- The Week
US actor Dave Coulier, best known for his role as Joey Gladstone in Full House, has announced he has stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The actor is 65.
According to the American Cancer Society, over 80,000 Americans are diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma each year. Also known as B-cell lymphoma, it is a type of cancer that develops in B-lymphocytes.
Talking to PEOPLE, Dave Coulier revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer in October. It was an upper respiratory infection which caused major swelling in his lymph nodes that led to the discovery. As his swelling increased rapidly one area became as big as a golf ball, he said. After a biopsy, PET and CT scans, it was confirmed that he was having stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Two weeks into his diagnosis, the veteran artist began chemotherapy. He shaved his head as a “preemptive strike” after his close circle backed him to take the disease head-on, he added.
Dave Coulier starred in the popular sitcom Full House alongside the late Bob Saget, John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The hugely successful show ran for eight seasons between 1987 and 1995.
What is Non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that forms in the lymph system. The lymph system is part of the immune system which protects the body from infection and disease. According to the US government’s National Cancer Institute, non-Hodgkin lymphoma grows and spreads at different rates and can be indolent or aggressive. Indolent lymphoma tends to grow and spread slowly, and has few signs and symptoms. Aggressive lymphoma grows and spreads quickly, and has signs and symptoms that can be severe. The treatments for indolent and aggressive lymphoma are different.
According to the website, the aggressive kind of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which Dave was diagnised with, is called the ‘Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.’ It is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It grows quickly in the lymph nodes and often the spleen, liver, bone marrow, or other organs are also affected. Signs and symptoms of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma may include fever, drenching night sweats, and weight loss. These are also called B symptoms.
How serious are non-Hodgkin lymphomas?
According to the Cleveland Clinic’s website, 3 in 100,000 people worldwide die of some type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Serious non-Hodgkin lymphoma conditions can make the patient’s body more vulnerable to life-threatening infections, other kinds of cancer or heart disease. 73% percent of people with these conditions are alive five years after their diagnosis. People diagnosed before the condition spreads live longer than people who are diagnosed after the condition spreads, the report added.

The star-studded BBC adaptation of Gill Hornby’s much-loved novel is expected to air next year on the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth.
The new pictures show the star-studded cast for the first time and reveal an insight into what will come for excited fans.
Meanwhile, other talents include Rose Leslie from Game of Thrones as Isabella Fowle, Phyllis Logan from Downtown Abbey, Calam Lynch from Bridgerton, and Alfred Enoch from Harry Potter.
Also pictured are Synnøve Karlsen (Last Night in Soho, Clique), Patsy Ferran (Living, Hot Milk), Max Irons (Condor, The Wife), and Liv Hill (The Serpent Queen, Elizabeth Is Missing).
Viewers can also see Jessica Hynes (Life After Life, Years and Years), Mirren Mack (The Witcher: Blood Origin, The Nest) and Kevin McNally (The Crown, Ten Percent).
The four-part drama reimagines the literary mystery of Catherine Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane’s letters.
BAFTA-winning writer Andrea Gibb has adapted the story for the screen.
The story starts in 1830, sometime after Jane’s death, while Cassandra (Keeley Hawes) rushes to see her friend Isabella (Rose Leslie), who is about to lose her home following her father’s death.
Although Cassandra is seemingly there to help her friend.
But her real motive is to locate a stash of private letters that could destroy Jane’s reputation if in the wrong hands.
However, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she remembers her youth upon finding them.
Flashbacks introduce viewers to Young Cassy and Jane (Patsy Ferran) while Cassandra’s reminiscing helps her realise her blindness to the real cause of Isabella’s heartache.
Bonnie Productions also produce Miss Austen for Masterpiece in the US.
The series is directed by BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Aisling Walsh (Maudie, Elizabeth is Missing) and produced by Stella Merz (Gentleman Jack, Renegade Nell).

Hoda Kotb’s Today show replacement has been announced as Craig Melvin nearly two months after the host of 17 years announced her exit.
The news was revealed on Thursday’s edition of the long-running NBC morning show.
“Craig Melvin is the new anchor of the Today show!” co-host Savannah Guthrie gushed, calling this “one of the most popular decisions NBC News has ever made.”
Melvin became a news anchor for Today in 2018 and co-host of Third Hour of Today the following year. He will co-anchor alongside Guthrie for the 7 and 8am hours beginning January 13, NBC said.
“You were made for this job. … You have all the things that this job needs. You’re the right person for it,” Kotb told her successor.
Melvin said it was “the latest in a long line of blessings.”
“I am beyond excited and grateful… I talked to mom and dad yesterday and I’m thankful they’re still young enough and healthy enough to be able to see this.”
The replacement comes after Kotb announced she was leaving the network after 26 years on September 26.
“I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60, and to try something new,” the host said at the time.
The broadcast journalist, who turned 60 in August, explained that spending time with her young daughters, Haley, seven, and Hope, five, was also an important part of her decision.
“Obviously I had my kiddos late in life, and I was thinking that they deserve a bigger piece of my time pie that I have,” she said. “I feel like we only have a finite amount of time.

“And so, with all that being said, this is the hardest thing in the world,” Kotb said.
She clarified that she will continue hosting the Today show alongside co-anchor Savannah Guthrie through January 1, 2025.
Kotb has been an integral part of NBC News for nearly three decades, having first joined the network in 1998 as a correspondent on its weekly nighttime show Dateline.
In 2008, she moved on to co-host the fourth hour of the Today show with Kathie Lee Gifford and then Jenna Bush Hager in 2019.
After NBC fired Today show host Matt Lauer in 2017 following accusations of sexual misconduct, Kotb stepped in alongside Guthrie as a temporary replacement. Her role became permanent weeks later as viewers responded well to the pairing.
Speaking to TheNew York Times, Guthrie commended Kotb’s decision: “It takes such guts to leave a place where you’re so comfortable, so beloved. There’s nothing rash about this.”
Kotb also wrote a letter to the Today staff outlining her plans to “remain a part of the NBC family.”
“Happily and gratefully, I plan to remain a part of the NBC family, the longest work relationship I’ve been lucky enough to hold close to my heart. I’ll be around. How could I not? Family is family and you all will always be a part of mine.”
