‘Full House’ actor Dave Coulier reveals tongue cancer diagnosis after overcoming lymphoma #shorts
you’re also battling another cancer totally unrelated to the previous cancer that I had. So, in October of this year, uh I went in for a PET scan, just a routine checkup, and something flared on the PET scan and it turned out that I have uh P16 squamus carcinoma at the base of my tongue. So, I said to the doctors, I said, “Well, did this happen because of the lymphoma?” They said, “Totally unrelated.” So, they said, “Well, now you’re going to have to go through radiation.” So I’m currently going through 35 radiation treatments. I’ll be done though December 31st. Great way to bring in the new year. Bring in the new year. Hey, but but the thing here is that what’s the prognosis? Uh prognosis is very good for P16 uh squamus car carcinoma. So it has a 90 plus uh curability rate.
Dave Coulier is battling tongue cancer, months after announcing he beat lymphoma. The “Full House” alum shared his latest diagnosis on the “Today” show Tuesday, calling the news a “shock to the system.”
The actor, 66, clarified, “It’s totally unrelated to my non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This is a new cancer. I said, ‘Are you kidding me?’”
