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.

Cancer Island

For all who are spending this season undergoing treatment, some twisted lyrics to sing along with Jimmy Buffett’s rendition of one of the dumbest Christmas songs ever written, “Christmas Island”…

Let's go away to stay well
Let's put away bad moles
Let's take a break from Christmas cheer
I know the place to go

How'd you like to spend Christmas on Cancer Island?
How'd you like to spend the holiday all day in chemo suite?
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Cancer Island?
How'd you like to hang your future on a great big IV pump tree?

How'd you like to stay up late ‘cause the nurses wake you?
Wait for nurses to sail in with your dinner in IV’s too
If you ever spend Christmas on Cancer Island
You will never stray ‘til the blessed day your remission comes true

How'd you like to stay up late while the doctors check you?
Wait for Chaplain to sail in with your last rites ‘cause you’re near through
If you ever spend Christmas on Cancer Island
You will always pray for the blessed day your healing dreams come true

On Cancer Island, your dreams come true…
