Stamos Stands By Coulier Through Cancer Battle, Remembers Saget’s Last Moments
Jaden Patel here—your friendly neighborhood cynic with a flair for the absurd and a deep appreciation for how life keeps throwing curveballs at people who just wanted to make us laugh. Ah yes, another day in the human circus where friendship, grief, and bald caps are all part of the act.
John Stamos isn’t just mourning the loss of a co-star—he’s actively refusing to lose another piece of his “Full House” family. After Bob Saget’s tragic passing in 2022 left a crater-sized hole in their lives, Stamos now finds himself on the front lines of another emotional war: Dave Coulier’s stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis. And no, this isn’t some dramatic Netflix special—it’s real, it’s painful, and it’s happening right now.
According to Us Weekly, Stamos has been “with him a lot during this cancer journey,” which is both touching and mildly alarming if you think about how much time that actually takes. But hey, when your best friend’s health is on the line, you either show up or you don’t. Stamos chose the former, even going so far as to wear a bald cap on Instagram while Coulier was undergoing treatment. The internet, of course, went full rage mode—because nothing says “supportive friend” like someone mimicking your hair loss. But Coulier? He saw the humor. In fact, he laughed out loud. “I laughed out loud when he arrived wearing a bald cap — being a true loving friend and brother,” he wrote, proving that comedy still has its uses, even in chemotherapy wards.
Coulier first noticed something was off after catching what he thought was a cold. Then came the lump—big enough to qualify as a small pet rock in his groin. “It swelled up immediately,” he recalled, sounding less like a man facing cancer and more like someone who’d accidentally swallowed a marble. The diagnosis hit hard. “Wait a minute — cancer?” he said, describing the moment like he’d just been handed a ticket to a movie he didn’t want to see. Spoiler: it wasn’t a rerun.
But here’s the twist: five months later, in March, Coulier announced he was in remission. “One of the few times in my life when ‘zero’ has been a great number to hear,” he told Parade. Coincidentally, the same day he got the clean bill of health, he learned he’d become a grandfather. His son Luc welcomed baby Chance Lee on March 27. “So we were like, ‘Oh, this is just too much!’” Coulier said, as if the universe had decided to balance out the trauma with a newborn’s tiny sneeze.
And let’s not forget Bob Saget. The late “Full House” patriarch died at 65 from blunt head trauma—a fate so ironic it makes you wonder if the scriptwriter was on vacation. Stamos admitted in 2022 that Saget never truly believed how loved he was. “He wasn’t where he wanted to be in his career,” Stamos said, echoing a sentiment that hits harder than a poorly timed punchline.
Still, the surviving cast keeps Saget alive through memory. “You can either look at it as an empty well or keep filling it with great memories,” Coulier said. And they’re doing exactly that—filling it, one reunion, one podcast, one shared laugh at a time.
Well, there you have it. Humanity at its finest: a bald cap, a cancer scare, a grandchild, and a group of guys who still talk about the time they filmed a scene where Danny Tanner tried to cook pancakes. Let’s pretend we learned something today.
