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.

You're No Good

It’s just another day at The Hotel Melanoma, filled with news of younger mole mates in fights for their lives with stage 4 melanoma. Scans and scanxiety, searing pain, aggressive and brutal chemotherapy, fear, grief, hope, anger, acceptance and defiance. And another day for older and luckier folks like me to ask “why?” Oy.


The Hotel Melanoma version of Linda Ronstadt’s “You’re No Good”…



Feeling better now that we’re through
Feeling better ‘cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson it left some scars
Now I see how you really are


You're no good, you're no good, you're no good ray C, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good ray C, you're no good


You broke young hearts so gentle and true
Well you broke some hearts over suntans baked through
I'll beg for their fitness on bended knees
I wouldn't blame them if they said to C


You're no good, you're no good, you're no good ray C, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good ray C, you're no good


I'm telling you now ray C that we’ll beat you some day
Forget about me ray C cause I'm ‘screening those rays


You're no good, you're no good, you're no good ray C, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good ray C, you're no good
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good ray C, you're no good
