Giants GM Gettleman's cancer in remission

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman announced Friday that his cancer is in remission.

Gettleman began treatment for an aggressive form of lymphoma five weeks ago.

"I had this crazy idea that I should do what the doctors told me. So I did, and I'm in a hell of a place, physically. I feel good," Gettleman said.

"I still have to continue treatment. The type of chemo I have, I'm basically getting 99 percent of it on an in-hospital basis, so when I go into the hospital I'm in there for five days. I've got three more rounds of it. I've had four so far, so I'm over the hump."

While Gettleman was told that he's in complete remission, his doctors also advised him that he's not out of the woods.

Nonetheless, Gettleman expressed confidence that he'll return to his duties as GM of the team on a full-time basis at some point this season.

"It'll happen. It'll happen," he said.
