Ben Terry, a meteorologist for an NBC affiliate in Louisiana, has continued to deliver forecasts from a hotel room near the hospital where he is being treated for cancer.
"I've got to use this opportunity now to get on and tell people, don't put off screenings," he told Chesky.
Terry shared earlier this month that his tumor has shrunk in size by 15% to 20% from his treatments. The goal is for it to continue to shrink so that it can be surgically removed. This is the second storm Terry has weathered while continuing to do his job. He was delivering weather reports around the clock in August 2020 despite the Category 4 Hurricane Laura destroying his home and damaging the KPLC building.
"I don't want people to feel sorry for me in the sense that I lost my home — so did a lot of other people in Lake Charles, and so I had an obligation to continue doing my job," he said. Now as he faces a fight for his life, he has realized that the hurdle is as much mental as physical. He said on KPLC that the anxiety after receiving the diagnosis"can be crushing" and that he"just about had a breakdown" in the doctor's office after being told about it.
