Dave Coulier’s wife Melissa is opening up about her courageous husband’s battle with cancer in a new interview.

The 65-year-old Full House star who returned to his hometown of Detroit some years ago revealed his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis in November. 

Many have rallied around the funnyman as he continues treatment, with his wife Melissa, who he married in 2014, offering new insight.

Just days before he announced the diagnosis on his Full House podcast and then on TODAY, he revealed the news to a local Detroit reporter for WYXZ.

The local network caught up with Melissa, who admitted her husband, ‘has some really tough days’ in his cancer battle.

‘As the chemo has been accumulating it gets a little tougher and more difficult,’ she admitted in the interview.

Despite this difficult battle, she added, ‘He has such a positive atтιтude, 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,’ she said.

She added that, ‘everyone is really rallying around” Coulier, and that he gets his strength from the losses he’s suffered in the past.  

‘I think it’s just innately in him. He has had a lot of loss in his life when it comes to having to deal with cancer,’ she said, adding he lost his mother, sister and niece.

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

The comedian himself offered an update on his Full House Rewind podcast earlier this month, stating, ‘I’m feeling good. My hair has not grown back at this time yet.’

‘I realize how much that hair keeps you warm,’ Coulier said. ‘Gets a little cold here in Michigan where I’m at.’

Marla told him that will be useful in the summer, ‘like a little air conditioning on your head,’ prompting Coulier to quip, ‘But then you gotta make sure you put sunblock on.’

‘I don’t know if I’m gonna let it grow, like, super long to kinda make up for it,’ Coulier shared with a laugh. ‘It’ll be nice to have hair again’

‘I don’t know if I’m gonna let it grow, like, super long to kinda make up for it,’ Coulier shared with a laugh. ‘It’ll be nice to have hair again.’

Soon after that, he got more serious about the uphill battle he is facing. ‘It’s been kind of a roller coaster ride. Different effects,’ he began.

‘And 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, like, ‘Okay, how am I adjusting to steroids? How am I adjusting to the chemo cocktail? And then, how am I adjusting to all these other things?’

‘You know, your body’s in a fight. It’s a little bit of an internal battle,’ he said.

He also revealed that he’s heard from a lot of people who have had or also have cancer and their notes have warmed his heart and encouraged him to keep going.  

‘I have heard from so many people, Marla, who have been affected by cancer in their lives. And, you know, the words of encouragement have, I think, really helped people. So that, to me, is worth the journey of all of this,’ he said.
