“The former child star”
You mean former porn star..
No!
Saying Stage 4 can be rather misleading. I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic lymphoma, stage 4. But three years later, it can’t be seen at all in my system. The doc said at the time of diagnosis, “you’ll die WITH this cancer, not FROM this cancer.”
I wish him all the best in his fight.
Love Screech, hope the Lord will heal him!
Exactly. Stage 4 doesn’t mean anything unless we know what kind of cancer it is. Given his age and that it’s stage 4, I will make a wild guess that it’s Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. It could be a ‘solid’ cancer too but less likely than a blood or lymph cancer.
FATHER GOD,
Draw close to Dustin Diamond. Touch him with the healing power of JESUS CHRIST. By His stripes we were healed.
We pray for his body, mind, and spirit. May he know JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.
Prayers for his health and healing !
Just died.
Sad news.
