Cervical Cancer
When setting up a GoFundMe for someone diagnosed with cervical cancer, the amount to set depends on the stage of cancer, treatment needs, and other related expenses. Here's a rough breakdown to help you estimate:
Medical Treatments: Treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and possibly immunotherapy can range from $50,000 to $200,000+ depending on the stage and required interventions.
Hospitalization & Surgery: Invasive surgeries (like a hysterectomy) and hospital stays could cost $20,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on complications and length of care.
Ongoing Care & Medications: Prescription medications, follow-up treatments, and possible targeted therapies or trials could add $10,000 to $50,000 per year.
Rehabilitation & Support: Physical therapy, mental health support, and lifestyle adjustments may also contribute to recovery costs.
Lost Wages & Caregiving: If the individual cannot work during treatment, or if family members take time off to care for them, lost wages could add up significantly.
A reasonable starting goal could be $50,000 to $100,000, but if treatments are complex or extended, you might consider a target of $150,000 to $250,000 or more to cover all expenses, including medical, supportive care, and living costs.
