Recent narcotics investigations by the Hardin County Sheriff's Office and the Hardin County Crime Task Force have revealed the presence of this deadly drug mix circulating within our county.

As a radiation oncologist with years of experience, I am thrilled to share the incredible strides we've made in the field of radiation therapy, particularly in minimizing the impact of what was once a dreaded side effect – radiation burns. The landscape of cancer treatment has evolved significantly, and one of the most notable improvements lies in our ability to deliver effective treatment with a focus on patients’ comfort and well-being.
In the not-so-distant past, radiation burns were an unfortunate and often inevitable consequence of radiation therapy. Patients undergoing treatment for various cancers would, unfortunately, experience skin reactions that ranged from discomfort to painful burns akin to severe sunburn. These side effects not only impacted the physical health of the patient but also added emotional distress to an already challenging journey.
