Full House star Dave Coulier revealed Thursday he has lost 45 pounds while undergoing treatment for carcinoma in his throat. In an Instagram video, the actor, 65, addressed fans who commented that he looked and sounded different. “What you’re seeing is the side effects of the extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat,” Coulier said. “I haven’t been able to eat solid food in months. So I’ve lost 45 pounds. That’s what you’re seeing. And it’s affected my ability to speak.” The actor reminded his followers that he previously battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma about a year and a half ago and underwent chemotherapy. “My hair is kind of growing back,” he said. Coulier shared an encouraging update on his condition. “We got our PET scans back, and the prognosis looks good for both the carcinoma in my throat and the lymphoma,” he said. Coulier, best known for playing Uncle Joey (Joey Gladstone) on the sitcom from 1987 to 1995, said he has stayed busy with creating artwork, creative writing, and his wellness venture, AwearMarket, which sells toxin-free wellness products, in partnership with the V Foundation’s Hockey Fights Cancer initiative.
