“Full House” star Dave Coulier on Tuesday revealed he was diagnosed with a second type of cancer just months after beating stage 3 Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
During an appearance on the “Today Show,” Coulier said he was diagnosed with HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer earlier this year. He added that his doctors made the discovery during his first routine checkup after beating lymphoma.
“Totally unrelated to the previous cancer that I had,” Coulier explained.
“So in October of this year, I went in for a PET scan, just a routine check-up and something flared on the PET scan,” he said. “It turned out that I have P16 squamous carcinoma at the base of my tongue. So I said to the doctors, I said, ‘Well, did this happen because of the lymphoma?’ And they said, ‘Totally unrelated.’”
