DETROIT — Detroit-raised actor and comedian Dave Coulier's tongue cancer is in remission, the former "Full House" told "Good Morning America" on Wednesday.

Coulier revealed in December that he is undergoing treatment for tongue cancer, unrelated to his previous bout with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. But he came to "GMA" with good news.

"It's been a roller-coaster ride for sure," the comedian said during an appearance on the ABC morning show. "I'm in remission with both cancers. And what a journey this has been."

Coulier, 66, appeared on the show during World Cancer Day. The tongue cancer was discovered when he was undergoing a checkup for the lymphoma, and early detection "saved my life," he said.

"I feel as though I can help people," he said. "I never wanted to be the poster boy for cancer, believe me, but now I feel like I can encourage people to get those prostate exams and mammograms, and just talk to your doctors, and get ahead of this."

Coulier, who in recent years moved back to his hometown of St. Clair Shores, also talked about AwearMarket, his well-being initiative and marketplace.

Coulier is due to appear at the ninth annual Astronomicon convention, April 10-12 at the Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest.
