An actor’s representative said on Thursday that Diamond, known for playing Samuel “Screech” Powers in the hit 90s teen series, completed his first round of chemotherapy treatment, with another to follow.
“Dustin is looking forward to spending more time with his girlfriend, playing his bass / video game, as well as making videos for his fans on social media,” said Roger Paul, Diamond’s representative.
Diamond, who revealed his diagnosis last week, will also begin physical therapy soon, added Paul.
Diamond played the role of Screech for more than a decade, appearing in four different incarnations of the “Saved by the Bell” franchise.
Peacock is currently home to a reboot of the series, in which Diamond did not appear.
