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.

A Plea to Management

Ever feel like you’re living in one of the “budget” or “economy” hotels in the Hotel Carcinoma chain? Here’s a musical plea to the management of this chain for just a little more brand awareness for this Hotel, sung to the tune of The Rolling Stones’ “Beast of Burden”…

I'll never be your least of burdens
My gang is large and it's a hurting
All I want is for you to find a cure for me

We'll never be your least of burdens
We've fought for years our cause is hurting
All we want is for you to come cure this beast

Ain’t we vogue enough
Ain’t we big enough
Ain’t we pink enough
Are you too blind to see

Our cancer is a beast of burden
So let's get down and work for certain
More money from rich donors
Come on doctors make sweet cures for we

Ain’t we vogue enough
Ain’t we big enough
Ain’t we pink enough
Are you too blind to see

Oh little cancer
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, cures
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty cure
Come on donors please, please, please

I'll tell you you can put us out on the street
Put us out with no shoes on our feet
But, put it out, put it out
Put it out of misery

Yeah, all this sickness we can suck it up
Throw it all at us we can shrug it off
There's one thing sponsors that we don't understand
You keep on telling us we ain't your kind of brand

Ain't I rough enough, oh sponsors
Ain't I big enough
Ain't I pink enough in vogue enough
Oh please

We'll never be your least of burdens
We'll never be your least of burdens
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

We'll never be your least of burdens
We’ve fought for years our cause is hurting…
