Giants general manager Dave Gettleman announced in a statement Tuesday afternoon that he has been diagnosed with lymphoma.
The disease was discovered last week during the 67-year-old’s annual physical.
“Over the past week, I have undergone more testing to determine the course of treatment, which is scheduled to start in the very near future,” Gettleman said in the statement.
“The doctor’s outlook for the treatment and the prognosis is positive, and so am I.
“I will continue to work as much as the treatment process will allow, and as they know, when I am not in the office, I will be in constant communication with Pat (Shurmur), Kevin (Abrams) and the rest of our staff.
