Dave Coulier Says Telling Wife of His Cancer Diagnosis Felt ‘Like I’d Punched Her in the Chest’

‘Full House’ alum Dave Coulier — who has stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma — recalled the moment he received his cancer diagnosis and broke the news to his wife Melissa.

“My doctor said, ‘We wish we had better news.’ I thought, ‘Uh-oh, this isn’t going to be good.’ They told me I had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma — specifically, an aggressive B-cell strain — and that I needed to start chemotherapy quickly.” Melissa also wrote, in part, about how she's helping her husband amid his diagnosis: "We’re focusing on fueling his body with real whole foods, cutting out refined sugar & processed foods, spending time in nature, and incorporating infrared saunas, breathwork, and massages to support Dave’s strength and comfort." Dave Coulier and Melissa Bring arrive at the NOH8 Campaign's 3 Year Anniversary Celebration at House of Blues Sunset Strip on December 13, 2011 in West Hollywood, California.
