Love you @dcoulier and I’ll be by your side through it all.” Coulier’s wife, Melissa Bring, replied, expressing gratitude for Stamos’ “daily support and love.”
Coulier shared with PEOPLE that Stamos plans to visit him on November 16, following a chemo session, offering to simply sit by his side if needed. “That’s like a brother,” Coulier said. “That’s just truly a brother.”
