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.

Gimme Some Druggin'

When it comes to melanoma treatment, my idea of “alternative medicine” is a good single malt scotch and a long walk with my golden retriever. I chose to receive all the conventional medicine I could get, including biochemotherapy and radiation treatments, and would do it all again in a heartbeat. The only thing resembling wheat grass that this old boomer will ever ingest will have to come courtesy of a medical marijuana prescription for chemo nausea. So for all of you bad ass melanoma warriors who agree with me about “better living through chemistry”, here’s a new twist on The Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme Some Lovin’”…




Hey!
Well my temperature's rising
And the nurse locked my door
Crazy T-cells rocking,
'Cause they dosed me some more.
Get it on Black C,
Come and show what you got
But you better take it easy.
My meds are hot.

And I'm
So glad they gave it
So glad I take it
You gotta
Gimme some druggin'
Gimme some druggin'
Gimme some druggin' everyday.

Hey!
Well I feel so good
Everything is kinda high
I better take it easy
Cause my face is on fire
It's been a hard day
And I have more meds to do
I take it, Black C.
And it’s aimed square at you.

And I'm
So glad they gave it
So glad I take it
You gotta
Gimme some druggin'
Gimme some druggin'
Gimme some druggin' everyday.

Hey!
Well I feel so good
Everything is gettin' high.
I better take it easy
'Cause my case is so dire.
It's been a hard day
And nothing went too good
Now I'm gonna relax
IV’s every body’s good

And I'm
So glad they gave it, hey hey
So glad I take it
You gotta
Gimme some druggin'
Gimme some druggin', woo hoooo
Hey hey every month
Gimme gimme gimme some of your druggin’ babe
You know I need it so bad, woo hoooo
Gimmie some of your druggin’,
Yeah yeah yeah my druggin’, Oh yeah

  1. I also went for radiation and Interferon. Although now I'm eating better and taking a few supplements, but no wheat grass.
