Those are very graphic with showing what life is like living with the after effects of having a serious illness. I speak about the limitations I face daily. The videos are not at all happy like the commercial is. Four of the other singers are also oral cancer survivors with their own individual challenges. Not everyone who goes thru oral cancer will go on to live with these types of problems.
