Weston Wilson has seen this fight before. He watched his brother, Spencer, overcome cancer twice and survive. So when Clemson’s second baseman learned his teammate, Clate Schmidt, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma last June, he wanted to make sure he helped Schmidt in anyway to overcome it.
“It takes a strong person to get through that whole situation,” Weston Wilson said.
Spencer Wilson had a malignant tumor in his leg the first time he was diagnosed, but after sending it into remission it returned with vengeance. The second time the cancer returned it showed up in his lymph nodes and his leg.
