Dave Coulier Details 45-Pound Weight Loss and Voice Changes as PET Scans Signal Good Prognosis

The actor is recovering after separate battles with lymphoma then an HPV-linked throat tumor.

Overview

  • Coulier, in a Thursday Instagram video, said throat radiation left him unable to eat solid food for months, causing a 45-pound loss and changes to his voice.
  • He recapped that a follow-up PET scan for lymphoma in late 2025 flagged a growth at the base of his tongue, with PET imaging spotting abnormal metabolic activity that led to biopsies and a p16 HPV-linked diagnosis.
  • He completed 35 targeted radiation treatments by December 2025 and announced remission for both cancers in February 2026.
  • He said new PET results now show a favorable outlook for the throat carcinoma and the earlier lymphoma.
  • He has stayed busy with artwork, creative writing, and his non-toxic store AwearMarket, while friends and fans, including Kelly Rizzo, posted messages of support.
