          New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said he continues to undergo chemotherapy treatments for an unspecified form of cancer.

          Alderson told the New York Post he undergoes chemotherapy every other weekend -- on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

          "The original diagnosis was like four days after we clinched the National League East in Cincinnati," Alderson told the newspaper. "So there wasn’t a lot of time to fully enjoy winning the National League East. But eventually, as you get more information, you come to grips with it, and it doesn’t have to be a preoccupation.

          "It doesn’t define me at the moment. But it’s something I have to deal with, which I have been doing for the last several months. I’m still very optimistic and pleased with the way things have gone. I work every day. I’m here full days."
