Recent scans point to a positive outlook during recovery from intensive treatment.

Overview

  • Dave Coulier posted an Instagram video Thursday addressing his changed look and voice after extensive radiation for carcinoma in his throat.
  • He said he has not been able to eat solid food for months, resulting in a 45‑pound weight loss and noticeable changes to his speech.
  • He reported that recent PET scans show a good prognosis for both the throat cancer and his earlier non‑Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Coverage notes the throat cancer is p16/HPV‑related and separate from his lymphoma, with about 35 targeted radiation sessions completed in December 2025.
