Dave Coulier is sharing an update on his battle with cancer. Back in November, the 65-year-old Full House actor revealed that he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Shortly after sharing the news, Dave shaved his head with the help of longtime friend and co-star John Stamos. During the new episode of his Full House Rewind podcast released on Friday (January 10), Dave opened up about his treatment and admitted “it’s been a little bit of an adjustment” not having hair.

My hair has not grown back at this time yet,” Dave told co-host Marla Sokoloff. “I realize how much that hair keeps you warm,” Dave said. “Gets a little cold here in Michigan where I’m at.” “That’ll come in handy during the summer, I guess. It’s like a little air conditioning on your head,” Marla, 44, quipped, as Dave added, “But then you gotta make sure you put sunblock on.” I don’t know if I’m gonna let it grow, like, super long to kinda make up for it,” Dave shared with a laugh. “It’ll be nice to have hair again.” Dave‘s comment then prompted Marla to reference a meme she saw, which said, “‘If your nose isn’t running right now, appreciate the heck out of that.’ Because once your nose starts running, you forget how wonderful it is to be healthy. And I’m sure that that’s a similar feeling that you have where you’re like, ‘Did I appreciate my health when I had it?’” “I wish it was just my nose running. It’s been kind of a roller coaster ride. Different effects,” Dave explained. “And people who are watching the show or listening to the show, who have been here before, you know that it’s a roller coaster, because the side effects have side effects — and then you take a drug to counteract that and this and that. So it’s this constant cocktail where your body is in fight or flight mode, and you’re just trying to adjust to, like, ‘Okay, how am I adjusting to steroids? How am I adjusting to the chemo cocktail? And then, how am I adjusting to all these other things?’” You know, your body’s in a fight. It’s a little bit of an internal battle,” he continued. “I have heard from so many people, Marla, who have been affected by cancer in their lives. And, you know, the words of encouragement have, I think, really helped people. So that, to me, is worth the journey of all of this.” Dave concluded, “If I have to feel a little out of sorts for a few months, then, then so be it. But just being able to alert people that it’s okay to get a colonoscopy or early screenings or a mammogram, it’s really worth it.” He also recently shared how his wife is helping to support him with a nutrition plan.
