In early February, Bogdan had a relapse - he became much worse, began seizures of epilepsy, hallucinations. A few weeks later, russia began shelling the entire territory of Ukraine and Brovary, where the family lived, found themselves in one of the epicenters of the war.

Near the house of Natalia and Bogdan, a missile fell, their house was damaged by an explosive wave. With the sound of shelling and past the columns of smoke, the family went to Kyiv.

Due to the constant bombardment for weeks, it was not possible to record Bogdan for examination. When the man finally managed to get an MRI, he was found to have metastases all over his spinal cord.

Bogdan needed constant care of specialists, painkillers and medicines. Neither Natalia nor her elderly mother knew where to turn or what to do.

After difficult weeks at home, they learned about free of charge palliative care program for patients in Dobrobut. The head of the palliative department Zoya Maksimova immediately agreed to accept Bogdan in our hospice.

Now the best medical specialists care about Bogdan. Unfortunately, he is in a very serious condition, so he needs continuous care and medical treatment. In addition to medical staff, one of the relatives is constantly near the man. The whole team of the department and the family support Bohdan and do everything possible.

Such stories help not to forget that in parallel with the war with russia, many Ukrainians are waging their own small, but no less terrible wars with other enemies - diseases.

We thank the charitable foundation Tabletochki for supporting palliative department of Dobrobut for Bohdan and other people suffering from serious and incurable diseases. Together we help such people to live with dignity the remaining time, surrounded by a loving family and the care of professional medical staff.
