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.

Kudos

My friend and mole mate Donna recently completed a Hotel Melanoma marathon event, twelve months of treatments with interferon (also known under the brand name Intron). I don’t have the authority to award Olympics medals, so she’ll have to settle for my congratulations and warped rendition of the Grateful Dead’s version of “Good Lovin’”…

Well, mole was lookin’ oh so bad, so I asked my cancer doctor 'bout what I had,

I said now, "Doctor, Doctor, Mister M.D., can you tell me, what's mela C?"

He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
All you need, all you really need: bad druggin'
Because you got to have Intron (bad druggin')
Everybody got to have Intron (bad druggin’)

Don't you want this lady to be alright?

He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
All you need, all you really need: bad druggin’
Because you got to have Intron (bad druggin’)
Everybody got to have Intron (bad druggin')
A little rad Intron now lady, bad druggin'.

Hey, got to have Intron (bad druggin’)

Well, mole was lookin' oh sort of bad now,

Gimme, gimme, gimme some sunscreen (good sunscreen)
Hey, now you got to have sunscreen (good sunscreen)
You need it, I need it, well you got to have sunscreen (good sunscreen)
Say it again now, good sunscreen.

Well turn off sun light, you won't regret it (good sunscreen)
You got to go for the good and get it (good sunscreen)
Everybody, they got to have sunscreen (good sunscreen)
Hey, now you got to stop sunnin'.
