Mark Gastineau: Sacking Cancer Together

By Phil Sullivan Posted On August 1, 2019

Mark Gastineau posted some good news on his Go Fund Me page. For those that don’t know, Mark is battling stage 3 colon cancer. I will let his words do the talking but it is great news. A big thank you goes out to everyone who is praying for Mark and to those who have donated to his Go Fund Me.

Here is the update from Mark:

My wife (Jo Ann) and I can’t say thank you enough, for all your prayers, support, and Blessings of Love.

It’s been almost one year since getting the news I have Stage 3 Colon Cancer.

The game plan I followed to fight against this opponent called “cancer” has been surgery, 8 chemo treatments , and 25 chemo/radiation treatments. My team and playing field is Foxchase Cancer Center – Philadelphia PA.

This week was the big game….a Catscan – Xray.

Praise God! Power of Prayer! I Am “Cancer Free” !

We are now in the playoffs and fighting for the title “Cured of Cancer”.

I am getting suited up and ready for my next surgery to get rid of the ostomy. The ostomy has been worst then having to wear pads on & off the field.

All your generosity & kindness through the GoFundMe campaign has lifted a financial burden; during the toughest fight of my life. Please help us to reach our goal & keep sharing the GoFundMe campaign with others.

“Let’s Keep Sacking Cancer”
Thank you for your prayers. My wife (Jo Ann) and I send our prayers to all of you!

I started JetNation in 2005 and have been a New York Jets season ticket holder since graduating from high school. My dream is to see the New York Jets win the Super Bowl. Until then, I will be right here on JetNation writing, dreaming and talking NY Jets football.

Every few weeks it seems the Jets are the laughing stock of the NFL as a picture of dysfunction. How will the latest piece from The Athletic impact the approach to how the Jets approach 2025?
