    Dave Coulier is "doing okay" amid his cancer battle

    The 65-year-old actor revealed in November that he had been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma and has been having chemotherapy and now his former 'Full House' co-star Candace Cameron Bure has shared an update


    She told People: "I talk to Dave a lot, and he's still on his journey and doing okay. So we'll see here in the next couple of months as his chemo rounds end how he's feeling."

    The news comes just weeks after Dave's wife Melissa Bring admitted he had had some "really tough days" since his diagnosis.

    She told Detroit's WXYZ: "He has some really tough days, and as the chemo has been accumulating it gets a little tougher and more difficult."

    Despite his health battle, Dave remains "positive", and the couple have a sweet way they keep their spirits up.

    Melissa continued: "He has such a positive attitude, and you need that in order to really fight it.

    "Every morning, if he's feeling up for it, we try to put on a song and do a little dance party with the dogs, because when you do feel good, you have to celebrate that too."

    Dave saw his late mother and other relatives battle the deadly disease and is inspired by their strength to keep "powering through it".

    She added: "He has had a lot of loss in his life when it comes to having to deal with cancer. He lost his mother, his sister, his niece. His other sister had it.

    "I think for him, he takes every stride and really pulls strength from seeing the women that were so close in his life powering through it, and he just wants to honour them."

    Dave himself recently described his cancer battle as a "rollercoaster ride" after suffering bad side effects to his meds.

    Speaking on his 'Full House Rewind' podcast, he said: "People who are watching the show or listening to the show, who have been here before, you know that it's a roller coaster, because the side effects have side effects - and then you take a drug to counteract that and this and that.

    "So it's this constant cocktail where your body is in fight or flight mode and you're just trying to adjust to, 'Okay, how am I adjusting to steroids? How am I adjusting to the chemo cocktail?'

    "It's a little bit of an internal battle."
