Football team coach Ron Rivera underwent his final treatment for squamous cell cancer last October and had a check-up with doctors on Thursday.
The tests they did gave positive results. Rivera’s daughter Courtney announced the good news on Twitter Thursday afternoon.
Young Rivera thanked the supporters for their love and prayers and reported that she had just talked on the phone with her parents. They told her that Rivera “is officially cancer free. “
Rivera talked about the difficulties of training during the treatment, but managed to overcome the treatment and lead the team to the division title. Whatever the future results in the field, we expect Rivera’s health to remain strong for many years to come.
