Former Gamecocks player says he is cancer free

COLUMBIA, S.C.  (WOLO)– Former Gamecocks Quarterback Stephen Garcia says doctors have removed all of his cancer.

Garcia’s announcement comes six months after he revealed he had been diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer.

At the time, doctors discovered it had spread.

The 38-year-old is now recovering from lung surgery and says he still may undergo chemotherapy to make sure all the cancer is gone.

College sports fans know Garcia from his days playing for South Carolina from 2008 to 2011.
