He made the announcement just before he was about to leave on a previously scheduled trip to five European countries, said spokesman Joe Evangelisti. That trip is now canceled.
"I feel very good now and will let all of you know if my health situation changes," Dimon wrote.

Jamie Dimon diagnosed with cancer
He made the announcement just before he was about to leave on a previously scheduled trip to five European countries, said spokesman Joe Evangelisti. That trip is now canceled.
"I feel very good now and will let all of you know if my health situation changes," Dimon wrote.
Yeah, I bet he feels "very good now".
It's "curable." But antisocial psychopathic greed is not.
I have to admit my first reaction when my husband showed me the headline was:
"Awesome!"
If you look at some of the comments (many, MANY have been deleted), you'll see how the public is responding.
This man has ruined the lives of so many people it's of Biblical proportion.
Sorry, but I don't have a "caring" cell in my body for this blight.
In a memo to the bank's employees and shareholders on Tuesday, Dimon, 58, said the cancer was caught at an early stage and is confined to the original site and the adjacent lymph nodes on the right side of his neck.
The cancer was discovered after Dimon, who was not feeling well about two weeks ago, went to see doctors, a person familiar with the matter said. Dimon spent last week in intensive tests and visiting multiple doctors, the person said. Dimon was never a smoker.
The company has a short, medium and long-term succession plan in place, the source added.
The news of Dimon's ailment is an unexpected blow for JPMorgan.
Dimon, who has been chief executive of the bank for the past eight years, was credited with steering the company successfully through the financial crisis. In recent years, however, the bank has run into headwinds that have taken off some of its sheen. In 2012, the bank lost $6.2 billion from risky derivatives bets that came to be known as the "London Whale" trades. And late last year, it agreed to a $13 billion settlement with the U.S. government to settle charges that it overstated the quality of mortgages it was selling to investors in the run-up to the financial crisis. The bank's massive London Whale loss prompted shareholders last year to push Dimon to give up the chairman's role, which he also holds. But shareholders backed off when Dimon's allies suggested at the time he might leave the company if he lost one of the titles.

This is a stunning metaphor, but I doubt that he gets it. Wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, but he can certainly afford the best treatment, no?
