I love you (p.s. - [wife Melissa Coulier] is the most wonderfulest - your true life line!)"......People quickly reacted in the comments section, with many finding Stamos' gesture to be distasteful. Coulier, however, defended Stamos while simultaneously sharing his disappointment with the negativity generated......."I'm sorry to see a bunch of negative comments as I've just begun my cancer journey," Coulier wrote in a post to Instagram. "It's our friendship (me and John) and this is how we are handling a very tough time. I'm a comedian and humor is what drives me. John knows how to cheer me up and I laughed out loud when he arrived wearing a bald cap - being a true loving friend and brother."......"I have heard from so many people who have been inspired enough by my words and actions to say they are going to check in with their doctors and get mammograms, a colonoscopy or a prostate exam," Coulier, 65, continued. ......"I'm still going to laugh in the face of adversity."......You are not allowed to view links.

So, I'm choosing to spread the word about early cancer detection to help people. That's just who I am. I wish nothing but love for all of you."......"You are not allowed to view links.

When people take this route they actually shave their head. I can't help but feel that you're using Dave's diagnoses as a way to make yourself more likeable."......"Hate to be that person but this is more insulting by putting on a bald cap then not shaving ur (sic) head. A person with cancer doesn't have a 'cap' they can take off," another reiterated. "What a shallow gesture! Couldn't even cut your hair off for your friend. And you made sure to post it on Instagram to get those likes too," another quipped. ......"I'm sorry as a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login survivor this is not support.

Shaving your head (especially since your love for your hair is so well known) would have been the move. Although I know you have the sweetest of intentions, This almost feels like a mockery. Not great [John Stamos]," a person commented. ......Although another cancer survivor rebuffed that thinking. "As someone who has had cancer three times I NEVER wanted anyone to shave their head for me. I think this is great and hilarious and I'm sure Dave didn't really want him to shave his head."......According to his IMDb, Stamos only has one project in pre-production.......You are not allowed to view links.

Don't be cruel, they are lifelong friends," one user pointed out. "Why are you guys being so miserable on a supportive post? Dave isn't offended so why are you? John has a job and contracts that don't allow him to change his appearance unless stated otherwise. Dave is an actor himself and understands that. What's most important is John is there for his friend when he needs him. Praying for Dave," another said......."Full House" co-stars You are not allowed to view links.
