Sweetin said the cast remain close and described them as family; they are due to attend 90s Con in Hartford.

Full House was an American sitcom about the Tanner family, which ran from 1987 to 1995. Dave Coulier played Joey Gladstone, a friend who helped raise the children, while Jodie Sweetin played Stephanie Tanner and Andrea Barber played Kimmy Gibbler.
Coulier has spoken publicly about being treated for tongue cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Cancer treatment can affect everyday functions such as eating and speaking, and his experience has been part of the story’s background.
The cast’s friendships have continued since the programme ended, with former co-stars meeting and appearing together at fan events. Their connections help explain why updates about one cast member’s health draw attention from viewers who have followed the show.
