When setting up a GoFundMe for someone diagnosed with prostate cancer, the amount needed will depend on factors such as the stage of the cancer, the treatment plan, and ongoing recovery needs. Here's a general breakdown of potential expenses:

1. Medical Treatments: Treatment for prostate cancer may involve surgery (e.g., prostatectomy), radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, which can range from $30,000 to $200,000+, depending on the complexity and stage of treatment.

2. Surgery & Hospitalization: A prostatectomy or other related surgeries may cost $20,000 to $100,000, with hospital stays, anesthesia, and post-operative care adding additional expenses.

3. Radiation & Chemotherapy: Radiation therapy can cost $10,000 to $50,000, and chemotherapy cycles can add $10,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on how many are needed.

4. Hormone Therapy & Medications: Ongoing hormone therapy or medications can range from $10,000 to $30,000 per year, depending on the specific drugs required.

5. Ongoing Care & Follow-Up: Regular follow-up visits, blood tests, scans, and medications can add $10,000 to $30,000 or more each year.

6. Lost Wages & Caregiving: If the person is unable to work or requires long-term caregiving, lost wages or caregiving costs could add significantly to the total amount needed.

A reasonable starting goal might be $50,000 to $150,000 for more straightforward cases, but for more aggressive treatment or prolonged recovery, you might want to consider a goal of $200,000 to $300,000 or more to cover the full cost of treatment, surgery, and long-term care.
