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.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
