Dave Coulier diagnosed with tongue cancer after beating lymphoma


Dave Coulier is battling cancer — again.

The “Full House” actor, 66, revealed Tuesday that he’s been diagnosed with tongue cancer, seven months after announcing he had beaten his battle with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

“To go through chemotherapy and feel that relief of whoah, it’s gone, and then to get a test that says, well now you’ve got another kind of cancer … it is a shock to the system,” Coulier said on “Today.”

“A couple of months ago, I had a PET scan, and something flared on the scan,” he explained. “The doctor said, ‘We don’t know what it is, but there’s something at the base of your tongue.’”

Coulier’s doctor performed a biopsy which initially didn’t detect cancer, but by the time he went his PET scan in October, the growth on his tongue had flared again and grown.
