Dave Coulier, the beloved Joey Gladstone from Full House, recently celebrated a milestone many feared might never come—his successful remission from Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His wife, Melissa Coulier, marked the occasion with an emotional Instagram post on his 66th birthday, writing, “This year’s turn feels like the luckiest rotation yet! You’re still here, the brightest light defying the dark. Forever grateful. Love you more than anything DB @dcoulier!”
Her heartfelt tribute encouraged fans to celebrate Dave’s journey alongside them, quickly drawing thousands of likes and supportive messages.
Dave first revealed his diagnosis in November 2024 during an appearance on the Today show. What began as a common cold was accompanied by a sudden swollen lump in his groin, which led to the life-changing diagnosis. “It never happens to you. You always hear about it happening to someone else,” Dave reflected. Yet, he faced the challenge with courage, regularly updating fans and maintaining his signature humor even during the darkest moments.
Support from friends and family, particularly longtime Full House co-star John Stamos, proved invaluable. John stood by Dave throughout his treatment, even donning a bald cap to match Dave’s chemotherapy look, emphasizing humor and love as essential tools in the fight against cancer.
