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.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

David Bowie’s “Changes”…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl3vxEudif8


Oh yeah
Mm
Still don't know what I was tanning for
And my moles were running wild
A million cells afleet and
Every time I thought they’d made C fade
It seemed next scan was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face Thee
But I've just now caught a glimpse
Of how this cancer can’t beat our Maker
He’s much too vast to lose that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the change
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Can’t hope to be a superman
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the change
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Just gonna have to be a different man
C may change me
But I can break free

I watch the doctors extend lives
But never dam the stream
Of life’s impermanence
So my eyes look for the prize
But still life’s days can’t be waste
And these doctors that we count on
As they try to find our cures
Are in tune to our limitations
They're quite aware of what we're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
We’ll embrace the change
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Don't tell us to move on and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the changer
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Where's its shame
C’s left us up to our necks in it
C may change we
But we can break free

Strange fascination, fascinating C
Ah changes are making the race we’re going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the change)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, come out you Black C molers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the change)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon now we’re gonna live bolder
C may change we
But we can break free
I said that C may change we
But we can break free
