Benny Parsons Battling Lung Damage, Breathing Difficuly: Benny Parsons is dealing with a complication stemming from his battle with cancer earlier this year. Parsons missed NASCAR’s postseason activities in New York after having breathing difficulty. His doctors performed a scan of Parson’s entire body and found no cancer. However, the original tumor found in his left lung was large and the radiation used to treat it was so extensive that the lung is now damaged and not functioning properly. Parsons’ right lung is healthy and strong, and doctors believe Parsons’ body will eventually adjust to having just one healthy lung. But until then, the former Winston Cup Series champion driver will need to use oxygen to assist his breathing.(Charlotte Observer)(12-15-2006)


If it's not one thing, it's another..

Thoughts and prayers are with him.

:( I really hope he gets better! My thoughts and prayers are with him!

Lung damage is not fun to live with. It takes so long to recover from that. I had an illness almost seven years ago that caused damage to my lungs. I had to use a machine to teach my body how to properly breath again. I used that thing for months before I could breath deeply again. I feel so bad for BP.

I hope he gets better......
