Dude looks awesome for having stage 4. You’d never guess he was sick.

God speed

38 years old with stage 4 colon cancer is beyond tragic. My heart goes out to him and his family with sincere prayers for a full recovery.

Holy shite...how is he not bald and has a beard from the radiation from the treatment? Chemo and radiation therapy must have evolved, my aunt was completely bald after it. Or maybe I am confusing it with something else and am dumb.

Only certain chemotherapy treatments cause complete hair loss. Radiation only causes hair loss on the areas treated directly with Radiation. I'm treating so many 30-40 year old folks with colon cancer and it's alarming. Please get that colonoscopy if you are younger with bowel issues of any kind.

Happened to one of my best friends who was also a true Razorback fan. Breaks my heart. Go Cocks. And WPS. Just absolutely brutal. Still can’t wrap my head around it and it’s been three years.

I think he just found out so probably hasn’t even started it yet.

I'd think that lump in his shirt on his right side is his port. Hence why the backpack is only over the opposite shoulder. Thoughts and prayers for Stephen and his family.

Just finished my radiation with stage III CC.Radition is concentrated below the belly button and above the privates and only effects that area.

Start chemo infusion with take home pump May 18 and had the port installed couple of weeks back.Not sure what type of chemo he's on but I imagine he has the pump in his backpack.

My Dad had it. Get as much cut out as possible on the front end. It was a tough surgery but they got it before it spread. Right after his prostate was removed for stage 4 cancer. He lived another 20 years.

Prayers for Garcia. And his family. Really seems like yesterday when I watched him beat Bama at their peak. Hard nosed worker.

All the best for Garcia. What a legend.

Love that he included clemson and everyone in the shoutouts. It's not surprising of course. Just a reminder that things are bigger than sports and we're all in this together, no matter what divides us.

Love you all
