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.

What A Wonderful World This Would Be

Just some new lyrics to Sam Cooke’s “What A Wonderful World This Would Be”…



Don't know much about this UV
Don't know much oncology
Know too much about insurance crooks
Don't know much about those meds I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you sunscreen too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about tomography
Don't know much pharmacology
Don't know much about doctor talk
Don't know what a med school is for

But I know that sun’s no fun for you
And if this one could ‘screen with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now I don't claim to be an 'A' patient
But I'm tryin' to be
For maybe by being an 'A' patient, Black C
I can kick you to the street

Don't know much about this skin C
Don't know much beyond Stage III
Don't know much about how C cells look
Don't know much about those drugs I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you sunscreen too
What a wonderful world this would be

Miss UV
Oncology
Silent looks
Meds I took

Yeah, but I do know that I love you
And I know that if you sunscreen too
What a wonderful world this would be
