Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

The Fight Goes On

Here’s a silly, happy song for you melanoma warriors currently undergoing treatment, sung to the tune of the Beatles’ “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”…



Doctor sees his patients at the cancer place...
Patient is a member of his band...
Doctor says to Patient "Boy, I like your case"
And Patient says this as he shakes him by the hand...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, fight goes on, brah!...
Lala how the fight goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, fight goes on, brah!...
Lala how the fight goes on.

Doctor drives his beemer to the cancer store...
Finds a big malignant honkin’ thing...
Shows it all to Patient fainting on the floor...
And as he shows it to him he begins to sing...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, fight goes on, brah!...
Lala how the fight goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, fight goes on, brah!...
Lala how the fight goes on.

In a couple of months they have shrunk it bit by bit,
With a couple of meds flowing in the veins,
Go Doctor and Patient man... (Ha ha ha ha ha)

Happy ever after at the cancer place...
Doctor lets the Patient end the stand...
Patient stays at home and does his livin’ thing...
And in the evening he still sings it with the band...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.

In a couple of months they have shrunk it bit by bit,
With a couple of meds flowing in the veins,
Go Doctor and Patient man... (Ha ha ha ha ha)

Happy ever after at the cancer place...
Patient lets the Doctor end the stand...
Doctor strays away and finds another case...
And in the evening he's a singer with the band...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, fight goes on, brah!...
Lala how the fight goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, fight goes on, brah!...
Lala how the fight goes on.

And if you want some fun...take Ob-la-di-bla-da (Thank you)
