Dave Gettleman’s cancer is in remission

Dave Gettleman’s cancer is in remission, as his recent scans have come back clean, The Post has learned.

People who have spoken recently with the Giants general manager say Gettleman has shared the positive news with them the past few days.

Gettleman, 67, revealed on June 5 that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. It is a type of cancer that starts in the white blood cells and can spread to different parts of the body.

A course of chemotherapy treatments caused Gettleman to lose his hair and eradicated the cancer. It is expected he will continue the treatments for the time being.

“Dave’s doing great, he was here [Tuesday], and he’s been doing his treatments,” said Pat Shurmur, hired by Gettleman as the Giants’ head coach. “That’s a process that he’s going through, but we communicate frequently. We’ve been in close touch all summer, I didn’t do much traveling, so I was here in town and Dave and I communicated quite a bit, actually.”

On Wednesday, Shurmur asked Gettleman to address the players as part of the first team meeting of training camp.

At the time of his diagnosis, Gettleman said, “The doctor’s outlook for the treatment and the prognosis is positive, and so am I.” His assistant, Kevin Abrams, picked up the slack when Gettleman was not feeling strong enough to fill his usual work responsibilities.

The Giants hit the field Thursday for their first practice of training camp with a roster reshaped by Gettleman. He traded for linebacker Alec Ogletree, signed left tackle Nate Solder and linebackers Kareem Martin and Connor Barwin in free agency and selected Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 pick in the draft and guard Will Hernandez in the second round.

That only means cancer they detected is now lower still does not mean he is cancer free or if he is getting healthier. He literally needs a lifestyle change to eliminate cancer from his blood stream.
