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 Rockin'

For all of you tough melanoma warriors in a state of infusion, here's my version of The Rolling Stones’ “Start Me Up” to kick off your next round…

When you start me up
When you start me up I'll never stop
When you start me up
When you start me up I'll never stop

They’ve been scannin’ spots
They are not glowing gotta show my docs
When you start me up
When you start me up I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You make a grown man cry
You make my cancer die
You make a grown man cry
Bring out the Boost, the Thorazine
I lie flat, hooked to a mean, mean machine
Start it up

When you start it up
Kick on the IV give it all you got, you got, you got
I can share smiles with the patients in the other trials
I am toughened up
If you like it you can dose me up
Dose me up, dose me up, dose me up

It makes a grown man cry
It makes my cancer die
It make a grown man cry
My cancer’s beat, my scans are clean
This fight ain’t easy, pump’s a mean, mean machine
Start it up

Start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Dose me up, Doctor just dose me up
Dose me up, dose me up, never, never, never

You make a grown man cry
You make my cancer die
You make a grown man cry
Drip down toxics at double speed
It takes me places that I’ve never, ever seen

Start it up
Love the day when we’re gonna stop, gonna stop
Gonna, gonna, gonna stop
Tough me up
Wanna stop, wanna stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make my cancer die
You, you make my cancer die


Best wishes to everyone undergoing treatments. I’ve been there, done that, and I know it can make a grown man cry.
