BATON ROUGE - November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and with it has come remarkable stories about people battling the disease and ways technology has improved detection.

On Wednesday, in front of the Louisiana State Capitol, WBRZ got the chance to meet Chris Hebert, a Louisiana man battling stage four lung cancer. He was diagnosed back in 2021.

"The doctor basically gave about nine to 12 months to live, based on what the treatments that were available here in Louisiana," Hebert said.

On Wednesday, Chris celebrated both his 50th birthday and four years since the diagnosis, showing extraordinary resilience.

"Every moment is precious. Every second is precious. The fact that we can wake up and breathe this morning here in America and celebrate survivorship," Hebert said.
