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.

Risk Factor Rock

My fellow blogger Al’s latest post (http://blackispink.blogspot.com/2012/02/uncontrollable-risk-factors.html) addressed uncontrollable risk factors for melanoma, based on information from the Melanoma Education Foundation. It appears that I had a 100% chance of getting melanoma. Yikes.

But I say if you can’t beat it, rock it. Just my version of George Thorogood & The Destroyers’ “Move It On Over”…

Labs come in last night about half past ten
That Black C of mine’s gonna take a spin
Those moles are all over
Docs are all over
Get over little odds, a mean old onc is movin' in

Docs told me not to mess around
And I done let their trial go down
Moles are all over
Docs are all over
Get over those odds, the big, bad onc is movin' in

Saw lots of docs on the ninth floor
Got IVs, I can’t take no more
Moles are all over
Docs are all over
Get over those odds, a mean old onc is movin' in

C spread on out just as pretty as you please
Some day soon I may push daisies
Moles are all over
Slice me all over
Get over those odds, a mean old onc is movin' in

Yeah, listen to me doc before you speak your mind
That hide's yours and this hide's mine
Those moles are all over
Docs are all over
Get over little odds, a big bold onc is movin' in

Yeah, C cleaned my clock, knocked me on floor
Claims man please, you must pay some more
Moles are all over
Docs are all over
Get over little odds, a big bold onc is movin' in

Moles are all over
Moles are all over
Moles are all over
Wontcha docs get it over
Get over cool odds, a hot onc’s movin' in
