'Full House' star Dave Coulier reveals he's cancer free

SAN FRANCISCO — Dave Coulier revealed Tuesday he's cancer-free after going through nearly six months of treatment.

Coulier, who played the beloved Uncle Joey on "Full House," was diagnosed with "the most aggressive kind" of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in November, but says he's now finished treatment. 

In an interview with Good Morning America, the "Full House" star said he'd been through six rounds of chemo and a hospitalization after catching the common cold with a compromised immune system. 

"I was in the hospital for four days," he revealed. "My doctors told me 'if you would have waited another 48 hours, you would've been in a real battle, and we might not have been able to turn this around.'" 

He told Entertainment Tonight, he's "on the other side" of chemotherapy, which is notoriously hard on a body. 

"Life is short and sweet, and very fickle and you can be here one day and gone the next," he said. "I think that becomes very clear when you go through something like this."

His "Full House" costars took to social media Tuesday to celebrate the news. 

"DAVE IS CANCER FREE!!!! Join me in celebrating this AMAZING news — let’s shower him with all the love in the world!" wrote Candace Cameron Bure, who played D.J. Tanner in "Full House" and it's spinoff "Fuller House." 

"I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to share that my dear friend Dave has beaten cancer," said John Stamos in a video posted to social media Tuesday. "He fought like hell, with strength and heart and, true to form, a whole lot of humor." 

Stamos played Uncle Jesse on "Full House" alongside Coulier and the late Bob Saget. 

"My 'Full House' family is so beautiful, we check in on each other and we truly love each other and care about each other," he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

He said the death of costar Saget brought everyone closer together. 

When asked what role Saget would've played throughout the last six months, Coulier laughed.

"He would be such a mother hen," he said. "He'd be driving me nuts, he'd be driving me absolutely crazy, but that was Bob." 

Coulier told Good Morning America he's now focused on creating a line of "all natural and sustainable clothing, foods and personal hygiene products" to be released this year. He's also advocating everyone get cancer screenings like "breast exams, colonoscopies and prostate exams."
