Dave Coulier Details “Roller Coaster” Chemotherapy Treatment Amid Cancer Diagnosis

For Dave, one thing that he’s found helpful during his recovery has been hearing other people’s experience with the disease.

“I have heard from so many people, Marla, who have been affected by cancer in their lives,” he noted. “And, you know, the words of encouragement have, I think, really helped people.”

And the actor—whose longtime friend and costar John Stamos has been among those showing his support—hopes that these difficult times in his life will, at the very least, encourage others to take preventative action and be vigilant in detecting cancer early.

“If I have to feel a little out of sorts for a few months, then, then so be it,” the comedian explained. “But 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.”
