This is from yesterday on Jayski.

UPDATE 3: Benny Parsons remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Carolinas Medical Center, but his condition has not changed since the weekend, his family said on Tuesday. Parsons, 65, is listed as critical, but his condition has stabilized. He continues to fight complications brought on by treatments for lung cancer. Parsons is not allowed visitors at this time, but fans and associates can continue to send him messages at bp@goprn.com.(NASCAR.com)(1-10-2007)

It pains me to keep hearing that Benny's condition isnt improving. If he can beat the cancer itself, I just know he can get past the complications. I strongly reccomend sending BP your prayers.

Benny is a month younger than I am and, believe me, at age 65, any time you're diagnosed with cancer, or anytime a chest cracker opens you up, things can go to Hell in a handbasket easily.

Come'on Benny, pull out of it. We're rooting for you.

Here is Benny's blog entry from 12/18

Small Price to Pay

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.

BP

That is the kind of thing we need to hear in the reports we get. Dont focus on the negative. Hopefully, the right lung will start pulling like it needs to.
