Washington football head coach Ron Rivera underwent his last treatment for squamous cell cancer last October and went for a physical on Thursday.

The tests they performed came back with positive results. Rivera’s daughter Courtney announced the good news on Twitter Thursday afternoon.

The younger Rivera thanked the supporters for their love and prayers and said she had just hung up with her parents. They told him that Rivera “is officially cancer free. “

Rivera spoke about the difficulties of training during the treatment, but he managed to pass the treatment and lead the team to a division title. Whatever the future results on the ground, we hope that Rivera’s health will remain strong for years and years to come.
