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.

I Thank You


Just a lyrical thank you to my merry band of oncologists at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, from ZZ Top…

You didn’t have to drug me like you did
But you did, wish I’d hid.
And I thank you.

You didn’t have to treat me like you did
But you did, cancer rid.
And I thank you.

If you hooked your drugs to someone else
I wouldn’t know what it meant to be drugged to death
You made me feel like I’ve never felt
IVs so good I had to holler for help

You didn’t have to ‘fuse me but you did
But you did, cancer hid
And I thank you.

You didn’t have to Code me but you did
But you did and I lived
And I thank you.

Every day was something new,
You hang up some bags and they drip ‘til through
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can heal up from flu.

You didn’t have to wave me like you did
But you did, protons hit
And I thank you.

You didn’t have to brake it like you did
But you did, tumor slid 
And I thank you.

In new life I’ve been
Without old sun crazy, its a frying shame
And now I know what the doctuhs are talking about
When they say that I’ve been burned out

I want to thank you
Thank you
Thank you M.D.’s
Oh M.D.’s
Got to say

You didn’t have to drug me like you did
But you did, wish I’d hid.

You didn’t have to scold me like you did
But you did, ‘cuz I’m dim.

Thank you
M.D.’s
M.D.’s
Thank! I’ve! Got! I’ve got to
Thank you M.D.’s
