University of Alabama Director of Athletics Bill Battle said Thursday that he hopes to return to work “on a limited basis” in the near future a series of treatments for multiple myeloma at the Winship Cancer Center at Emory University in Atlanta.
“I have completed this latest phase of my fight against multiple myeloma, and the outcome was extremely positive,” Battle said in a statement released by UA. “My wife, Mary, a licensed oncology nurse, has been an amazing force in every stage of this fight over the last two years. I was fortunate to get early detection, aggressive treatment by the best doctors, and entered this recent phase in reasonably good physical shape.
