Coulier broke the news of his cancer battle in an interview with People.
He recalled receiving the devastating news after undergoing a series of tests recommended by his doctor: “Three days later, my doctors called me back and they said, ‘We wish we had better news for you, but you have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and it’s called B cell and it’s very aggressive.’
“I went from, I got a little bit of a head cold to I have cancer, and it was pretty overwhelming.”

He further discussed the importance of sharing his diagnosis on an episode of his podcast, Full House Rewind with Marla Sokoloff.
Coulier explained: “I started the podcast wearing a hat, and I said, I’ve always been a man of many hats, but this hat has special significance because a couple of weeks ago, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
“That was really a conscious decision of, I’m going to meet this head-on, and I want people to know it’s my life. I’m not going to try and hide anything.
“I would rather talk about it and open the discussion and inspire people.”
