Dave Coulier's wife, Melissa Bring, feared the worst after her husband's fifth round of chemo.
The Full House star's spouse recently told Parade Magazine that she had a very tough conversation with Coulier as he prepared for chemo a fifth time.
"After [the fifth round of] chemo, he was like, ‘I don’t know if I could do this again.' He was like, ‘I’m prepared either way. If I die, I die. And if I can stay here, great. I want to.’ Those conversations were obviously so tough."
The beloved actor held on to optimism while also being realistic after losing multiple family members to cancer. He explained that he couldn't help but consider the "worst" as he prepared for another round of chemo.
"I think everybody’s mind goes there. It’s part of the reality of life. Like, ‘Wow, this is really serious’ and ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’ I’ve seen it so often in my family."
Coulier, who successfully completed his sixth round of chemo, was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in October 2024. In January 2025, his wife provided an update on his condition, citing tough days amid relentless positivity.
"He has some really tough days. And as the chemo has been accumulating it gets a little tougher and more difficult. 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."
