, there were reports that
Dustin Diamond was hospitalized in Florida, and they suspected that he has cancer. Today his reps confirmed to
Entertainment Weekly that he has stage IV cancer.
“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 [email protected]
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.
