Washington Football Team’s Head Coach Ron Rivera Finishes Last Round of Chemo

Riverboat Ron wasn’t in the gambling mood when it came to his cancer treatment. Rivera completed his last cancer treatment Monday, less than 24 hours after his Washington team trounced the Dallas Cowboys, 25-3.

Rivera’s Monday accomplishment completes seven weeks of treatment for squamous cell cancer, with which the coach announced he’d been diagnosed in August.

As is common with cancer patients who complete their treatment, nurses, doctors and staff lined the hallway to cheer on Rivera. What a week for the coach.

Riverboat Ron will still have to attend follow-up appointments and undergo scans to monitor his progress moving forward, but it is a milestone for him. Congrats coach.
