  Its a shame your neighbor has oral cancer.  Im amazed at how some people think cancer treatment is like getting over the flu.  Hope they dont have a hard time, but you know how this cancer is and the side effects of treatments.  Lets hope he takes some of your advice now so he will be a proactive patient.
