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.

N.E.D.

Tomorrow I’ll be attending a patient education symposium in Denver, sponsored by the Melanoma Research Foundation. Being a very lucky fellow enjoying an extended “no evidence of disease” status, I’m hoping to learn a lot about melanoma treatment that I’ll never personally need to know but that’s worth passing on through a future blog post. And I sure hope to meet a mole mate or two in person!

To kick off your weekend, some new lyrics to AC/DC’s “T.N.T.”…

See me come out after sunset
Wearin’ lathered UV ‘screen
Out for all that I can get
’Cause I know Black C’s mean
Tannin’ to the left of me
Tannin’ to the right
Ain't got no sun
Got the knife
Don't you know pale’s right

’Cause I'm
N.E.D.
I'm mela-light
N.E.D.
And I'll win the fight
N.E.D.
Got my chemo load
N.E.D.
Watch my lymph nodes

Mel’s dirty, mean and mighty unclean
He’s a wanted man
Public Enemy Number One
Understand
Sunblock up your daughter
And block up your wife
Block up your ‘back door’
And ‘screen for your life
The tan brings Black around
So don't you mess around

’Cause I'm
N.E.D.
I'm mela-light
N.E.D.
And I'll win the fight
N.E.D.
Got my chemo load
N.E.D.
Watch my lymph nodes

N.E.D. oi oi oi
N.E.D. oi oi oi
N.E.D. oi oi oi
N.E.D. oi oi oi

N.E.D.
I'm mela-light (oi oi oi)
N.E.D.
And I'll win the fight (oi oi oi)
N.E.D.
Got my chemo load (oi oi oi)
N.E.D.
Watch my lymph nodes
