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.

Happy Valentine's Day



Our friends at The Skin Cancer Foundation are suggesting we perform a couple's skin exam for Valentine’s Day. And they’re not talking about a twofer appointment with a dermatologist.

This sounds like quite a lot of fun, but I’m guessing it just isn’t happening for me this year. Hoping it does for you, I’ll sign off with The Hotel Melanoma rendition of The Beatles’ “Drive My Car”…



Asked my girl what she wanted fourteenth
She said, "Baby, can't you see?
I wanna be faded, a star of sunscreen
But you can do something in between”

Baby, you can jive my scar
Yes, you’re gonna see boudoir
Baby, you can jive my scar
And maybe I'll love you

I told that girl that my doc checks were good
And she said, "Baby, it's understood
Skin checks at clinics, it’s all very fine
But I can show you a better time"

Baby, you can jive my scar
Yes, you’re gonna see boudoir
Baby, you can jive my scar
And maybe I'll love you

Peep peep'm, peep peep, yeah

Baby, you can jive my scar
Yes, you’re gonna see boudoir
Baby, you can jive my scar
And maybe I'll love you

I told that girl, I can start right away
Then she said, "Listen babe, I got something to say
I got no scar and I’m faking that part
But I've found enquirer and that's a start"

Baby, you can find my mars
Yes, you’re gonna see boudoir
Baby, you can find my mars
And maybe I'll love you

Peep peep'm, peep peep, yeah
Peep peep'm, peep peep, yeah
Peep peep'm, peep peep, yeah
Peep peep'm, peep peep, yeah
