Thank you very much for these words 😔
Luka was 26 years old, an amazing boy. With lots of goodness. He was 23 years old when he was diagnosed with this disease. We fought a lot, friends, family. We collected a large sum of money and took it to Turkey for treatment. We fought for 3 years ... In August we could not physically cope with the financial stress and we went to France to get free help 😔 Unfortunately it turned out that Luka's GVHD had gone too far and France could not do anything to keep Luka alive 😔We were devastated by the loss of Luka 😭

Thank you for sharing Luka’s story with me. His passing has really touched me to the core. At 26, he was far too young to leave this world.

After reading about the heroic lengths your friends and family went through to support Luka, I’m filled with respect for the depth of love and sacrifice you’ve all made in trying to help him fight his battle.

I lost my brother to cancer when he was 27. (I was 14) I’m almost 68 now and not a day goes by without my thoughts turning to him. He was my best friend. So I know your bother lives on in a large area of your heart. He will be with you always. Hold onto the positive memories and know he loved and appreciated everything you did for him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I’m always here if you feel you want to talk about anything. 😔
