About two weeks ago, Dustin Diamond checked into the hospital due to severe pain. Doctors were able to determine that he has stage 4 cancer, and now they know which one he has.
“The stage 4 small cell carcinoma diagnosis is definitely not what we were hoping for. However Dustin is being treated and fighting this,” his rep wrote. “Those of us close to him will make sure he receives the messages of love and support. Will bring letters to him. Thank you so much for all the love.”
Diamond has already had his first round of chemo and will be going through another one shortly. He desperately needs your prayers to beat this cancer at such a late stage.
Dustin Diamond was diagnosed with cancer last week in the hospital, and yesterday a source gave Us Weekly an update on his condition.
“It’s not good, it’s not good at all. He’s going to be in the hospital for a while. He’s getting through his treatments now. It’s tough, it’s very hard,” a source told the magazine. “He’s going through a lot of pain, but he still keeps his spirits up. Right now, he’s just suffering. He has his ups and downs where he’s great one minute, but then he can be in a lot of pain — tears. It’s such an emotional time.”
The Saved By the Bell actor is being comforted by those close to him, including his girlfriend. However, because of COVID-19, most of the interaction is being done via the phone.
Doctors are still working to find out exactly what stage his cancer is at. Once they know that, then an insider says they will know more about his future.
Hopefully, they will figure that soon. Until then, let’s all say a prayer for him.
“He’s undergoing chemo so he will be there at least another week and then we will figure out when he gets to come home,” explains his rep. “By next week, we’ll have a much better understanding of the severity of his condition and what treatments he will need so that he’s comfortable.”
To make matters worse for the actor, he also has Shingles.
His rep says that he wants to hear from you so you can send him a Get Well card (no autograph requests) to Insurance King, C/O Dustin Diamond, 127 N. Alpine Rd, Rockford, Il 61107, or an email to PinkDaisyEntertainment@gmail.com
One of the people who has reached out to him is his Saved By the Bell co-star Mario Lopez. “I connected with Dustin earlier this evening and although the news of his diagnosis is heartbreaking, we remain positive that he’ll overcome this,” Lopez wrote. “Praying for him & his family and for a speedy recovery.”
Hopefully, he will beat cancer and recover quickly. Then when he is better, he can make a guest appearance on the SBTB reboot on Peacock.
Before Dustin Diamond went to Bayside High on Saved By the Bell, he tried to get into Julliard on It’s a Living. How cute was the 10-year-old in that 1987 episode?
Dustin Diamond is hospitalized in Florida for pain all over his body and unease. According to TMZ, doctors do not know what is wrong with him, but they suspect that he might have cancer. Therefore, they are running tests and plan on doing a biopsy to figure out what is ailing him.
Hopefully, he doesn’t have cancer, and the Saved By the Bell star will be on the mend soon.
