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.

Beatlemania

Just because it’s a Beatles day at the Hotel Melanoma and I know I can't ever get back to the old days before checking in, here's a new version of 1969’s “Get Back”…

Boomer flunked some scans and thought he was a goner
Doctors knew he couldn't last
Boomer left his home for Hotel Melanoma
Drugged with biochemo fast


Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, boomer
Go home


Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, son


Sweet old days of bronzin’ brought him to the onc man
But he’s now a paler man
All mole mates around here say he's stopped his sunnin’
But he sneaks rays when he can


Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, mole-no-ma
Go home


Get back, get back
Get back to where your oncs be gone
Get back, get back
Get back to where your oncs be gone
Oooh...


Get back, mole-no-ma
Bad t-cells waiting for you
Bearing their high-yield blues
And they’re Black C’s getter
Get back home, mole-no-ma


Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back
Oh, yeah
