@todayshow: Stephen Garcia, former star quarterback for the South Carolina Gamecocks, sits down with TODAY’s Craig Melvin to open up about being diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer at age 38. “It was definitely a shock,” he says, “but I wasn't going to sit there and be like, ‘Well, I guess I’m done.’ It’s more like, ‘What am I going to do? How am I going to beat this thing?”

Stage 4 at 34. 36 now. Still fighting. Just started the treatment plan from Md Anderson. Mine and his are almost exactly the same. I know what he’s going thru personally. I know how hard it is with kids and everything. Pray for you man.

My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer from 33 and lost his battle at 38, and Stephen was the QB for SC that we watched every weekend religiously as Gamecock fans. All the love and prayers 💛🤙🏻

I was lucky. I went 2 year misdiagnosed only to find out it was cancer. By grace of God I had a successful surgery 2 months ago
