Dave Coulier, renowned for his role as Joey Gladstone on the beloved sitcom *Full House*, is reportedly in good health following a challenging battle with cancer. While he was unable to attend the Scleroderma Research Foundation’s Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine fundraising event on 13th October, his former co-star, Jodie Sweetin, provided an uplifting update on his wellbeing.
Coulier’s journey has been fraught with medical challenges. In November 2024, he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Fortunately, after just five months of treatment, he announced in February 2026 that he was in remission. This was not the first health scare for the actor; in December 2005, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with tongue cancer, which he also battled successfully.
Sweetin, who has maintained a close connection with her *Full House* castmates, expressed her joy at Coulier’s recovery during a conversation with PEOPLE. The close-knit group of actors continues to support each other and remain engaged in one another’s lives. “We’re still super close,” Sweetin remarked, hinting at the bond that has persisted well beyond their time on the show. She further mentioned their upcoming appearance at 90s Con, scheduled for the weekend following the event, underscoring the affection and camaraderie that characterises their friendship.
During the charity function, Sweetin shared that she and Andrea Barber recently spent a weekend at Coulier’s home. “Yeah, we’re like obnoxiously annoyingly close,” she laughed. Such moments highlight the familial connections forged during their years on the show, which have continued to thrive in the face of adversity.
Coulier’s health had been a topic of concern, but Sweetin reassured fans that he is doing “really well”. She recounted a recent arts fundraiser they participated in together in Detroit, stating, “It was so much fun and he’s doing great.” Sweetin noted the significance of their time together, saying, “Sitting around and having coffee with him in the morning meant so much.”
The evening’s event also highlighted efforts in raising awareness and funds for scleroderma research, with a special honour bestowed upon John Stamos. He received the Bob Saget Legacy Award, recognising those who have championed the cause. Coulier, despite his absence, sent a heartfelt video message congratulating Stamos for his achievement.
In his video, Coulier expressed his regret for not being able to attend the event in person due to his time spent on a tractor in Michigan, before fondly acknowledging the bond he shares with Stamos. “You and Bob have always been like beautiful sisters to me, and I love you very much,” he stated, showcasing the enduring relationships formed during their years on set. Coulier wrapped up his message with a quick impersonation of Stamos, bringing a touch of humour to the heartfelt tribute.
As Coulier continues to navigate his recovery with the support of his friends and co-stars, the *Full House* family remains a source of strength for him. The camaraderie and love within this tight-knit group serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of friendship during difficult times.
The upcoming 90s Con, set to run from 16th to 19th October at the Connecticut Convention Center, promises to be a celebration not just of nostalgia but also of the enduring connections that have blossomed from their shared experiences. Attendees can purchase tickets through the official website, ensuring that fans of the show can reconnect with their favourite stars and partake in the spirit of togetherness that characterises the *Full House* legacy.
With Coulier on the mend and the support of his co-stars, hope shines brightly for both his health and the future of their cherished friendships.
