Check It Out

On the right hand side of this page, under the heading Melanoma Patient Resources and Blogs, I’ve provided an eclectic and non-exhaustive set of links to my favorite melanoma blogs, facebook community pages, and nonprofit organizations. If you’re in need of information, inspiration, encouragement or emotional support from your fellow melanoma warriors, please check out these links. They will introduce you to an online world of really fine and caring folks who will understand and empathize with all of the challenges, emotions, victories and losses you are experiencing as a resident of The Hotel Melanoma. Folks who will “get” what your family and friends may not, no matter how loving and supportive they may be. You really, really, don’t have to go it alone.

Just my version of John Mellencamp’s “Check It Out”…

A thousand-some poets
Streamin' out their words
’Bout a world full of Black C
And yearnin' to be heard
Future generations
Ridin' on ‘net highways that we built
I hope they have a better understanding

Check it out
Goin' to doc on Monday
Check it out
Got yourself a biopsy
Check it out
All the medical bills can’t be paid
You can't tell your best buddy that you love him
So check it out
How to make time slow
Check it out
Got a brand new mole to docs show
Check it out
Keepin' C’s attacks from your loved ones
Sharin’ all that we've learned about happiness

Check it out
A spot to say hello to my molemates
Check it out
Sometimes I question my own behavior
Check it out
Talkin' about C’s cures that we dream will draw nigh
Just to tell our souls there’s still lots of time
So check it out
Gettin' too drunk on Saturdays
Check it out
Playin’ football with the kids on Sundays
Check it out
Soarin' with the warriors all week long
And sharin’ all that we've learned about living
Sharin’ all that we've learned about living

A thousand-some poets
Streamin' out their words
Maybe someday
Those words will be heard
By future generations
Ridin' on ‘net highways that we built
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Hope they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Hope they have a better understanding
Check it out.....
