The last time I did, some of you said I looked differently and I sound differently. I do,\u201d Coulier, 66, told fans in a new video posted via Instagram on Thursday, May 7. \u201cWhat you are seeing is the side effect of the extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat, and I haven\u2019t been able to eat solid food in months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coulier initially announced that he\u2019d been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in November 2024. By March 2025, he was determined to be cancer-free after undergoing several rounds of chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>However, the actor discovered in December 2025 that he had HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer, which can cause \u201ca long-lasting sore throat, earaches, hoarseness, swollen lymph nodes, pain when swallowing, and unexplained weight loss,\u201d according to the Centers for Disease Control.

The American Cancer Society estimates that 53,000 people are diagnosed with oropharyngeal tongue cancer each year.<\/p>\n<p>Coulier confirmed on <em>Good Morning America<\/em> in February that he was cancer-free once more as he underwent 35 radiation treatments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a roller-coaster ride for sure,\u201d he told <em>GMA<\/em> at the time. \u201cI\u2019m in remission with both cancers.
