A Family’s Fight and Victory Against Advanced Melanoma

Hilde Stapleton, an avid painter, mother of three supportive children Kristianna, Sunny, and Sam, and husband George of over two decades, received a diagnosis that would forever change their lives as a family. On a trip back to Norway, Hilde noticed an inflamed lump that just wouldn’t go away. After seeing her general practitioner, he told her he felt confident this was nothing more than a minor irritation, but in fact, it was advanced melanoma—the deadliest form. Hilde’s husband, George, arranged to work from home and did a great deal of research. With the support of her family, Hilde feels she benefited from the best available medicine and brightest doctors around the country. After being cancer free for 7 years, Hilde had several recurrences that led her back into treatment. But with these new recurrences, she knew exactly what to look for and how to be proactive. Watch as Hilde shares how her strong bond with her family and friends gave her immense strength during such a dark time.
