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.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
