Tennessee State Senator, Bill Ketron has been awarded with the "Disability Hero" award from the Tennessee Disability Coalition. The award honors public servants who champion causes to help Tennesseans with disabilities and their families. The award comes just one week after learning his cancer is now in remission after a year-long battle. 

Ketron is currently promoting a bill, which he intends to introduce to the General Assembly, that requires insurance companies to cover the cost of other forms of chemotherapy if they agree to pay for intravenous chemotherapy treatments. Ketron states this is just one way he intends to use his standing in state government to advocate for cancer patients.
