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.

Rockin' Around The Chemo Suite

To the tune of Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6xNuUEnh2g


Rockin' around the IV tree
Let the chemo party stop,
Nasty moles where you can’t see,
Cancer doctor tries to stop,
Rockin' around the chemo suite,
Let those toxic spirits sting,
Later we'll use some sunscreen high,
And we'll do that paler thing.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
Voices singing, "Tan was folly,
Check my moles and make me jolly",
Rockin' around the IV tree,
Have a happy chemo day,
Everyone testing merrily,
In the new bold B-RAF way.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
Voices singing, "Tan was folly,
Check my moles and make me jolly",
Rockin' around, we’re Black C free,
Have a happy tan-free day,
Everyone screenin' merrily,
In the high SPF way.

  1. All I could think about while reading this is your post about the nurses fussing at you for getting out of bed (and almost killing yourself in the process) when you were TOLD to stay in bed. :-)
