Dave Coulier, best known for his role as Uncle Joey on the television series 'Full House,' has revealed that he has been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. The actor announced his diagnosis on the 'TODAY' show and on his podcast 'Full House Rewind,' sharing that he began noticing symptoms about a month ago when he came down with a cold and discovered a golf-ball-sized lump in his groin. Coulier described the diagnosis as a 'gut punch' and said he 'felt like I got punched in the stomach.' He added that he 'kind of looks like a little baby bird now' due to the effects of treatment. Despite the aggressive nature of the cancer, he has expressed determination to 'be strong throughout this' and plans to meet the diagnosis 'head-on.' He also shared an emotional hug with Al Roker after revealing his diagnosis and encouraged others to get screened for cancer when they can.
