Prayers to Bill and his family, hope to see him back soon.

“In the spring of 2014, I was diagnosed with a treatable form of cancer," Battle said in a statement. "Subsequent to that diagnosis my wife, Mary, and I visited with doctors at The University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center; University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas; the Lewis and Faye Manderson Cancer Center at DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa; and the Winship Cancer Institute to determine the best treatment options. I am very comfortable with the diagnosis and treatment plan. I am looking forward to getting this behind me and continuing my active lifestyle, as well as continuing to lead our Athletics Department. My experience has made it clear to me that cancer can be a treatable disease that can be dealt with while maintaining a high quality of life.”

Good news, Cancer is more 3d than we know. I am still not sure how Jimmy Carter recovered from brain and liver cancer. It is more than treatment, or age....it's something else that helps. I lost my bro to Cancer in 30 days a few months ago, and I am sure it has touched everyone. Bill Battle had tough, tough shows to fill and is a great man.
