Some of you may be old enough to remember Paul Simon’s smash hit “Kodachrome” from 1973. Here’s a variation of that song, titled “Chromofobe,” the rare kidney cancer my surgeon Sarah Psutka removed.
When I think back, on all the years, that I was healthy,
It’s a wonder I was sick at all.
But as you age, and scans and x-rays look beneath the hood,
They find tumors that really aren’t so small.
Chromofobe
They said it’s a solid mass lesion,
It’s been there for many a season,
Makes me think I don’t have a clue at all, oh yeah;
It was a carcinoma,
It tried to make a permanent home-a,
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe away.
If you took all the surgeons in the Skagit Valley,
Put them all together in one club;
They couldn’t match the skills of one Sarah Psutka,
That’s why I took my kidney to U-Dub.
Chromofobe
They said it’s a solid mass lesion,
It’s been there for many a season,
Makes me think I don’t have a clue at all, oh yeah;
It was a carcinoma,
It tried to make a permanent home-a,
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe away.
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe away
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe away
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe away
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe away
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe
She sent this boy, right back home
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe away
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe, mm
My surgeon done take that Chromofobe away
Okay
