In Their Own Words: What LOG-after Means to the First Survivors and Families in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Luka Trivić (17): Discipline, Determination, and Peace of Mind for the Future

Luka was treated for Wilms’ tumor at the age of six. Today, he is a high school student and an accomplished athlete who proudly earned the title of boxing champion of Republika Srpska

• Luka: I am most proud of having developed discipline, a strong work ethic, and achieving outstanding results in one of the most demanding sports. Having access to this platform is a great idea. I would encourage all young survivors to attend their regular follow-up appointments, stay active through sports, seek advice when needed, pay attention to what they put into their bodies, and above all, never give up on your dreams.
• Luka’s Mother: Keeping track of complete medical records over the years was very challenging, but I remained fully committed. Knowing that my child now has access to LOG-after makes me feel deeply emotional—I could honestly cry tears of happiness. I would especially like to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Predojević for making this possible. It is so important for young people to understand the importance of long-term care and to build connections among young survivors across Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond.

Tea Musić (17): “Keeping Everything in One Place Gives Us Relief and Confidence”

A decade after overcoming Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Tea balances her high school studies with a passion for traditional folk dance, recently winning a medal at a prestigious European competition in Turkey.

• Tea: I am most proud of my strength and perseverance. Even though I went through a difficult period, I never gave up on my goals. Having LOG-after allows me to keep all important information about my health in one place. It gives me peace of mind wherever I am and serves as a reminder that we are not alone on this journey.
• Tea’s Mother: Over the years, we accumulated a large amount of medical documentation, and as a parent, I was often worried I might miss an important appointment. Having a single place for all documentation and reminders brings a great sense of relief and peace of mind. Projects like e-QuoL provide better organization and stronger integration with the healthcare system.

Marina Trivić (25): Bridging Communication Between Doctors and Survivors

Marina overcame a malignant germ cell tumor at age 14. Today, she balances her professional career with active fitness and a love for singing.

• Marina: I am proud that I overcame my illness and that I now lead an active lifestyle through sports and healthy living. LOG-after is a very useful tool that will support young cancer survivors by making communication between doctors and patients much easier and improving the ongoing monitoring of our health. My message to others is: listen to your doctors, never hesitate to ask questions, and always attend your check-ups.
• Marina’s Mother: The LOG-after gives me a sense of security. The e-QuoL project is highly valuable because it provides young people with easy access to the information they need to manage their health in the future.

CCBL Banja Luka: Bridging EU Digital Health Innovation Beyond Borders

The introduction of LOG-after at CCBL represents a unique milestone within the e-QuoL project. As the sole consortium partner operating outside the European Union, CCBL’s successful implementation underscores the project’s commitment to ensuring equal access to digital survivorship tools regardless of geography.

Following the registration of these first patients, the e-QuoL team at CCBL—led by Dr. Jelica Predojević-Samardžić—hosted an interactive LOG-After workshop at the Parents’ House. Attended by 15 patients and 22 parents, the session focused on long-term follow-up care and was followed by a celebratory gathering organized by Mladica, the local young survivors’ organization.

Through dedicated clinical leadership at CCBL, strong family support, and active patient advocacy, Bosnia and Herzegovina is setting an inspiring example of how digital health passports can foster lifelong care and hope for young cancer survivors.
