Dave Coulier was fine with his chemotherapy for Stade 3 cancer, it seems-until he was knocked out by a cold.
“I started to become quite sick,” explains the actor-comedian Parade in a new interview. “I didn't know that I had caught a virus. I was in bed for about 10 days trying to understand:” Do I have a cold? Do I just feel the ramifications of this cumulative effect of chemo? What's going on? “”
It turns out that the veteran of “Full House” and “Fuller House”, whose immune system was compromised by cancer and treatment, had a problem with his lungs. Glass opacities on the ground – a sign that is common in covid-19 patients – introduced himself to his scans. He said that the condition that had caused the opacities could have killed him if his wife had not sent him for an exam.
Even with this problem solved, Coulier was still in good shape, because the side effects of the chemo has won while it progressed towards its sixth round.
“”NeuropathyThat I had not known before, started to increase, “he said.” Funty began to increase. Dizzy has started to increase. They Call it chemical brainwhere you are a little misty – which has started to increase. My days of being able to get up and walk and be active have started to decrease. »»
The fatigue of several chemo cycles made him style at his house in Michigan by February, the month when he finished them. Now he has no hair but an increasing number of hats, he joked.
Coulier was diagnosed with non -hodgkins lymphoma last October and went public with that in November After undergoing three surgeries and its first series of chemo.
His diagnosis came after catching a superior respiratory infection and his lymph nodes swelled like crazy. A knot in the groin swelled at the size of a golf ball, so he asked his doctors to remove it and the biopsy. The results returned clever.
He summoned a certain lightness during an appearance “today” in November, telling Hoda Kotb that his best joint joke was that in four weeks, he had “passed from a virgin to cancer”.
“I tried to keep a sense of reality but also a sense of humor on this subject,” he said.
At the time of his appearance “Today”, Coulier had lost only “a little hair”, but managed to make a cup of buzz in Croque.
Months later, in the photos of Parade, he was completely bald – but had a big smile on his face.
The former staff editor, Nardine Saad, contributed to this report.
