Dustin Diamond’s cancer diagnosis has been hard for him to deal with emotionally and it has him questioning how this happened to him. Those close to him say that he’s struggling to come to terms with having stage 4 small cell carcinoma, because it’s normally caused by smoking, and he’s never been a smoker.
So, Dustin can’t help but wonder if his cancer is the result of his frequent work travel over the past 20 years. He’s worked all over the country on film sets and at comedy clubs for meet-and-greets and sometimes had to stay in pretty questionable hotels and motels because there were no other options. Dustin believes some of these spots might have had mold or asbestos, which he could have breathed in, causing his cancer.
Dustin just completed his first round of chemo at a Florida hospital and will start physical therapy soon while he awaits the second round of treatment. Doctors have not determined what caused his cancer, but he does have a history of it in his family. His mother died of breast cancer. He is awaiting more test results and hoping to get some answers.
