Entertainment Weekly

The 44-year-old former Screech actor, who was hospitalized over the weekend in Florida after feeling pain throughout his body, has received a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and has begun chemotherapy treatment, a rep for the actor tells EW. "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," says the 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." The rep adds that Diamond is feeling "fine" today. "He was fading in and out, feeling sleepy and tired," says the rep. "On top of all this he also has shingles, so he's been in a lot of pain."
