Default NASCAR legend Benny Parsons in Intensive care

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!

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

From BP himself,

Quote:
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.
