Just months after he revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Dave Coulier is cancer-free!

On Monday, March 31, a representative for Coulier, 65, confirmed to PEOPLE that he was cancer-free, and soon after, the actor's Full House co-star Candace Cameron Bure shared the news in an Instagram post.

"DAVE IS CANCER FREE!!!!" the actress wrote, alongside a selfie was herself, Coulier and his wife Melissa. "Join me in celebrating this AMAZING news — let’s shower him with all the love in the world! ❤️❤️❤️."

Cameron Bure, 48, included a photo of herself and the comedian out and about together, as well as a still of them working together on the set of Full House.

Earlier on Monday, Coulier revealed in an interview with Parade that he had a biopsy on a lymph node in his neck in recent weeks — and the results were extremely encouraging.

"Melissa and I waited for a week to get the biopsy results back, and there is no sign of cancer," he told the outlet. "One of the few times in my life when 'zero' has been a great number to hear."

At the time of the interview, he also told the outlet that he was awaiting the results of an additional CAT scan, which would determine if his cancer was "in the rear-view mirror."

"I'll tell you this," Coulier added. "Today is the first day that I really feel like, 'Wow, I'm feeling pretty darn good. I feel like myself.' And it's today. So I get to celebrate that with you."

Coulier revealed his stage 3 non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis exclusively to PEOPLE in November 2024. He shared that an upper respiratory infection resulted in swelling of his lymph nodes, which led him to get tested and then eventually diagnosed in October 2024.

"This has been a really fast roller-coaster ride of a journey," he said at the time. “I looked at how those words affected [Melissa] and I thought, you know what, I'm going to be strong throughout this, not just for me, but I'm going to be strong for her.”

Melissa also spoke out about the difficulties her husband has faced amid his diagnosis, telling WXYZ in January that his treatment has gotten harder and harder over time since his diagnosis in October.

"He has some really tough days, and as the chemo has been accumulating it gets a little tougher and more difficult," she admitted at the time.

However, Melissa told the outlet that Coulier has kept his spirits up with humor, which helps during the harder days.

"He has such a positive attitude, and you need that in order to really fight it," she added. "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."

Throughout his journey, he said he’s been pulling inspiration from family members, many of whom also went through cancer.

“I lost my mom to breast cancer. I lost my sister Sharon to breast cancer. She was 36 years old. I lost my niece, Shannon. She was 29 years old,” he said, adding that his older sister Karen is also going through cancer alongside him.

"I saw what those women in my family went through, and I thought to myself, ‘If I can be just 1/10th of a percent as strong as they were, then I'm going to be just fine,' " he added.

Cancer sucks, but if you’re going to get it, and if you live long enough it’s inevitable, you have to hope for one of the ones they can cure. My mom beat non Hodgkins too. That’s the one I’m hoping for.
