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.

Infusion Delusion


If I ever have to do any more rounds of chemotherapy, I'm doing them HERE. Okay, that's my delusion about any future infusions. But I'm quite grateful to have survived to a time when, if my melanoma recurs, I'll have some treatment options that just might not be as toxic as biochemotherapy. With best wishes and prayers for everyone undergoing treatments, here are some new lyrics to The Allman Brothers' Band's "Midnight Rider"...

Well, I've got new meds to keep from dyin',
And I've vowed to keep survivin’.
And I've got one more silver bullet,
And I'm not gonna let it catch me, no,
Not gonna let it catch this Baby Boomer.

And I don't want the cross I'm bearing,
And this road goes on forever,
But I've got one more silver bullet,
And I'm not gonna let it catch me, no
Not gonna let it catch this Baby Boomer.

And I’m not past the point of caring,
Some blue gown I'll soon be wearing,
And I've got one more silver bullet,

And I'm not gonna let it catch me, no
Not gonna let it catch this Baby Boomer.

No, I'm not gonna let it catch me, no
Not gonna let it catch this Baby Boomer.

No, I'm not gonna let it catch me, no
Not gonna let it catch this Baby Boomer.
