John Stamos responds to Dave Coulier’s cancer diagnosis

The cast of “Full House” will always be family.

John Stamos showed love to his “brother” Dave Coulier on Instagram on Wednesday after Coulier, 65, announced he had been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.

Stamos, 61, posted a tribute with several photos of the couple over the years, as well as an emotional message to his longtime friend.

“My brother from day 1. I love you @dcoulier and I will be by your side,” Stamos wrote in his caption.

Stamos and Coulier met playing Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey, respectively, on “Full House,” which aired from 1987 to 1995.

The photos shared by Stamos were a mix of old and new snaps of the duo. In one sweet shot, Stamos wrapped his arms around Coulier as they lay in bed together.

In another photo, Stamos and Coulier posed with their late co-star Bob Saget, who died in January 2022 at the age of 65. Saget’s death was ruled an accident caused by blunt head trauma.

Coulier’s wife, Melissa Bring Coulier, responded to Stamos’ heartfelt post in the comments section.

“I love you PP – thank you for the daily support and love!! ❤️❤️,” she wrote.

Fans also responded to Stamos sweetly highlighting his friendship with Coulier amid the latter star’s health struggles.

“What great photos. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you as ‘Joey’ heals,” one fan wrote.

Coulier announced on Wednesday that he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma five weeks ago.

“(I felt) like I was punched in the stomach because it never happens to you. You always hear about it happening to someone else,” Coulier said in an interview with Today.

The actor confirmed that he started chemo two weeks after his diagnosis. He also revealed that he shaved his head as a “preemptive strike” during his battle with cancer.

Coulier opened up more about his diagnosis while wearing a hat on the “Full House Rewind” podcast.

“I started the podcast wearing a hat, and I said, I’ve always been a man of many hats, but this hat has special meaning because a few weeks ago I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,” said he in an interview with People.

“That was really a conscious decision: I’m going to face this head-on, and I want people to know that this is my life,” he continued. “I’m not going to try to hide anything. I prefer to talk about it, open the discussion and inspire people.”

Coulier also confirmed to People that he told his “Full House” castmates — including Stamos, Jodie Sweetin, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber — about his diagnosis.

“I didn’t want them to hear it from someone else, so I sent a text message,” he said, noting he received an “immediate” response from everyone who showed him “overwhelming” support.

Two months before announcing his diagnosis, Coulier told The Post exclusively that he would like to do another “Full House” reunion project.

“I would love to do it. I’m the one pushing the ball up the mound right now to do it,” he shared. “So I would love to be with everyone and do a little bit of a different show. Maybe some kind of flashback show where we work our way through adulthood, and we flashback to episodes of the original show that give us guidance.
