Dave Gettleman not letting cancer battle slow him down

What do they say about the best-laid plans?

“The Lord has a plan and for some reason I wasn’t supposed to get to Cape Cod this summer,’’ Dave Gettleman said Friday after the Giants finished up a stormy practice.

No, Gettleman did not get to spend any time on the beach. He was diagnosed five weeks ago with lymphoma and has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments ever since. Recently, his doctor, Andre Goy at Hackensack University Medical Center, told him his cancer is in complete remission.

“I really didn’t understand it,’’ Gettleman, the Giants’ general manager, said in his first public comments since the diagnosis.
