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 Memo To Melanoma

As I look forward to a trek to see my oncologist next week, there’s something I want to say to melanoma that’s publishable in a PG-rated blog. To the tune of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ “Don’t Come Around Here No More”…

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whoever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more

Ain’t giving up, ain’t giving up
Ain’t giving up on living any longer
Ain’t giving up, on this life stronger

I don't want you any more
Don’t darken my door
Whoever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more

Ain’t giving up, ain’t giving up
Ain’t giving up, you mangle my emotions
Ain’t giving up, cancer please admit you’re over

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whoever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more

Stop walking down my street
Who do you expect to beat?
Whoever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more
