A man from Merseyside says a spot he initially thought was an insect bite during a holiday in Greece turns out to be skin cancer. Chris Capstick, 41, noticed the mark on his back while getting married, later seeking medical help as it changed.
Both outlets report that he is diagnosed with stage four melanoma, and that he has “months to live,” according to statements attributed to him and/or his family. The accounts describe the same timeline: the mark appears during the Greece wedding trip, it is first mistaken for an insect bite, and medical assessment ultimately identifies a far more serious condition.
While neither outlet adds substantial additional context such as specific dates, treatment details, or test results, they frame the story similarly as an example of how a minor-looking skin lesion can be malignant. The difference is mainly in wording: one outlet emphasizes the “insect bite” finding, while the other highlights the prognosis associated with stage four melanoma.
