As of February, he said that he is reportedly in remission. On May 7, Coulier provided an update about his condition on Instagram.
Coulier Lost 45 Pounds Because of His Cancer Treatment
He said in a video that he is so thin now because of his cancer treatment. "What you're seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat. I haven't been able to eat solid food in months. So I've lost 45 pounds, that's what you're seeing."
It even affected the sound of Coulier's voice . He added, "So you're right on with what you're seeing and what you're hearing."
After a year and a half following his non-Hodgkin lymphoma, he reports that his hair is tentatively returning. Furthermore, and even better, Coulier's PET scans came back with promising news. He said, "The prognosis looks good for both the carcinoma in my throat and the lymphoma. So we're very pleased with all of that."

His wife, Melissa, posted in the comments for his video, "ILYMTA." That stands for I Love You More Than Anything.
