Battling Melanoma

Hi, my name is Claudia and I am creating a Go Fund Me on behalf of my besties Mark and Suzy Siburg.

I am including Mark's story below and for all of you who know and love him like us, please share with all of your friends, families and communities.

I was suffering from significant blood loss throughout 2022 with an unidentified cause. On July 13, 2023 I was diagnosed with melanoma and the tumors in my small intestines were identified as the source of the blood loss. I started immunotherapy treatment which began to shrink the tumors. Unfortunately, one of the tumors was attached to the wall of my small intestine and the shrinkage caused a tear in the intestinal wall which required emergency surgery for repair. The surgery was successful. The doctors then found numerous brain lesions due to the melanoma. Those are currently being dealt with and the doctor's believe full remission is achievable due to new treatment options.

Friends, one immunotherapy treatment is $28k and there were eight ER visits, the major surgery / a five night hospitalization, an upcoming reversal surgery, and gamma knife brain treatments are pressing on the family financially.

Please share on behalf of these precious, hardworking, friends.

I appreciate your consideration and love in advance. xoxoxo, Claudia
