A Father’s Fight Against Melanoma | Sheffield News
Description
Chris Capstick, a 41-year-old dad of three, thought he had a bug bite after his 2022 wedding in Greece—until it turned into stage four melanoma, spreading to his brain and body. Told he had only a 15% survival chance, he fought back with immunotherapy, went briefly cancer-free, then faced a grim prognosis. Now, over a year later, five of his brain tumors have vanished, leaving just one—and he’s still alive, battling on. His daughter Isabella turned his story into a children’s book, “Daddy’s Little Monsters,” now being distributed to cancer centers across the UK as a heartfelt legacy.
