Fernando Clavijo is on the mend. After battling cancer for more than two years, the U.S. Soccer mainstay shared encouraging news on Twitter: his cancer is in remission.

During the summer of 2014, Clavijo's son announced that his father had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood disorder similar to lymphoma or leukemia. But after two years of lengthy treatment, doctors declared that Clavijo's cancer was officially in remission.
