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.

Happy New Year!

With thanks to all of you who’ve followed my silly blog this past year, I wish you a Happy (and healthy!) New Year and sign off for 2011 with a new version of the Traveling Wilburys’ “End of The Line”…



Well it's all right, hiding from sun in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you make a stand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for some doc to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a tumor fling

Well it's all right, even if they say you're gone
Well it's all right, sometimes docs gotta be wrong
Well it's all right, as long as you got something to say
Well it's all right, everyday is thankful day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, and wonder what I blog these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when insurance pays
Chemo haze

Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, since we got wonder new drugs
Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Don't have to be ashamed of my scars and hide
I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if C’s by my side
I'm gratified

Well it's all right, even if you're skin is grey
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive

Well it's all right, hiding from sun with your ‘screen
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
