Dave Coulier is responding to fans who have pointed out his changing appearance following a battle with both tongue cancer and lymphoma. 

In a video shared to the “Full House” star’s Instagram on Thursday, the 66-year-old actor explained how treatments for the cancer have impacted him. 

“Hi everyone, it’s me Dave, and I haven’t posted in quite a while and  the last time I did some of you said that I look differently, and I sound differently, and I do,” he began the video. “And what you’re seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat.”
