Just read on NASCAR.com where BP is in Intensive Care and has been for some time due to complications. Let's all pray for BP!

that's sad-Really like Benny

[Mr. Ford95]

It is sad, just before the race at Lowes in October, he said he was cancer free then this happens. :shock:

From BP himself,

I was told last week that the aggressive radiation treatments had completely destroyed my left lung but I am still cancer free.

As my radiation oncologist told me today, John Wayne lived and had a great career with one lung. There is no reason why I can’t do the same. It will take a little while for the right lung to pull the weight for the left lung so until then I will still need to use oxygen when I walk. I won’t need it sitting or commentating races and to me that is the main thing. If given a choice between cancer or losing a lung I would say that I got the right end of the deal.

Hopefully that right lung gets going good and strong for him soon.
