To the tune of the Blues Brothers’ version of “Soul Man”…

Hummin' to you with a UV load
Good sunnin', I did a truckload
And when ya get it, ha
You got somethin'
But don't worry, new meds comin’
I'm a mole man
I'm a mole man
I'm a mole man
Got no sun tan
Got what I got the hard way
And I got to make it better
Each and every day
So honey don't you fret
Cause you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm a mole man
I'm a mole man
I'm a mole man
Got no sun tan
I was brought up without sunscreen
I learned how to burn before docs could speak
I am music-mated to Woodstock
When I start bloggin’
Oh I can't stop
I'm a mole man
I'm a mole man
I'm a mole man
Got no sun tan
Grab the rope
And let me pull you in
Give you hope
And be your C-free pale friend, yeah
(Yeah) yeah (yeah)
(I'm talkin about a) mole man
(I'm a) mole man
(And you) mole man
(Ah) mole man
(Oh lord) mole man
(I'm a) mole man
(And you) mole man
Hummin’ to you, with a UV load
Good sunnin’, I did a truck load
and when you get it, you got something
don't worry, 'cause cure’s coming
I'm a mole man
Got what I got, the hard way
and we’ll make it better, each and every day
So honey, I said don't you fret
'cause you ain't seen nothing yet
Well grab the rope, and I'll pull you in
Give you hope, and be your C-free pale friend ya ( ya ) ya ( ya ) help

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.

About Me
- Rich McDonald
- My blog reflects an ongoing quest to find the good stuff and the funny stuff I've stumbled into during my stay at The Hotel Melanoma since receiving a Stage IIIc diagnosis in 2003. And to raise awareness about this relatively unknown brand of cancer. If you find it of value in your own quest, please share it with others and make a donation to your favorite melanoma nonprofit organization to fund melanoma education, prevention and treatment research. If you're wondering why my golden retriever, Jordan, is pictured here, well, he actually writes most of my posts and he's a lot better looking than me.

A Thank You Note to Commenters
Comments, positive or otherwise, are the lifeblood of a blogger and I really do appreciate receiving and reading them. So, thanks for taking the time to let me know what you think about my blog. I know that some of you are currently enduring some pretty rough times. Please let me know how you are doing and whether there is something I can do to help.
Important Disclaimer!
At great risk of sounding like the corporate lawyer I used to be by making the perfectly obvious perfectly clear, here goes. Neither The University of Colorado Cancer Center nor any of its affiliated entities or individual persons (whether living, dead, or in some alternate plane of existence) has anything whatsoever to do with this blog. They don’t endorse it, sponsor it, approve it, or sanction it. Most likely they are completely unaware of it because they have better things to do than search the ‘net for blogs of patients, much less read them. Moreover, to the extent they are aware of it, they may not even like my writing or sense of humor. Nevertheless- and I’m acting solely and exclusively on my own here- I still hope you give them money to support the cause of melanoma (or other cancer) research. They do good work.
