Two Cancer Battles Have Left Dave Coulier Unable to Eat Solid Foods for Months
The actor said he has not eaten solid food in months and that radiation treatment affected his speech.
- On Thursday, May 7, 2026, actor Dave Coulier posted an Instagram video addressing his 45-pound weight loss and voice changes, attributing both to side effects from extensive radiation treatments for throat carcinoma.
- Coulier, 66, previously revealed he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2024 and later HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer, though he announced in February that he is now in remission from both.
- Addressing fan concerns, the 'Full House' alum explained he has been unable to eat solid food for months, adding, "Some of you said that I sound differently. So yeah, you're right on with what you are seeing and what you hearing."
- Support from friends like John Stamos has continued, while Coulier remains optimistic, noting his hair is growing back and PET scans show a good prognosis for his recovery.
- Reflecting on his journey, the actor admitted the experience has been a 'rollercoaster ride,' though he feels 'like cancer is always in the rearview mirror behind' him as he manages his health.
