Dave Coulier, best known as Joey Gladstone from « Full House, » says he’s now undergoing treatment for tongue cancer.

The 66-year-old revealed he was diagnosed in October with HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer — just months after celebrating being cancer-free.

« To go through chemotherapy and feel that relief of ‘Whoa, it’s gone,’ and then to get a test that says, ‘Well, now you’ve got another kind of cancer’ … it is a shock to the system, » Coulier shared on the « Today » show.
