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.

Cancerversary Rock



Tomorrow is my fifth anniversary of completing stereotactic radiotherapy, and I’ll be celebrating by having a MRI and checkup with Dr. No to confirm that Mr. Schwannoma doesn’t need another nuking. And I’ve vowed to keep my smart mouth shut when I’m once again asked to complete the redundant questionnaire confirming that, no, to the best of my knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, I have no body piercings or other metallic implants on my person. Although I’ve always wondered what would happen if I did but lied about that on that questionnaire.


Until next time, I’ll leave you with The Hotel Melanoma take on The Firm’s “Radioactive”…

Well I'm up for fight
Not feelin’ passive
Burn it gone with light
'Cause I'm radioactive
Radioactive

There’ll be a fight
And I'm won’t be captive
Burn it through with light
'Cause I'm radioactive
Radioactive

They shot some rays at U
I’m wont to stay with U’s Rad D
I want to pray at U
And I want U to know

Got to lay and wait
Must be contrastive
Burn it gone with light
’Cause I'm radioactive
Radioactive
Radioactive
Radioactive

They shot some rays at U
I don't want to stay at U
I want just to stray from U
And I want U to know

Got to lay and wait
Must be contrastive
Burn it gone with light
Cause I'm radioactive oh yeah
Oh yeah radioactive
Don't you stand, stand too close
You might catch it

Radioactive
Radioactive
