Mimi is still in Macedonia. Still dealing with the bureaucracy of the government. Still without success. And in the end, she will have to sell the family home--the apartment that her mother owned and that she has lived in for the last years. Even if the government agrees to pay for some of Iva's care, the most they will pay is 80 percent of the estimate we gave them for two rounds of chemo and the additional scans. The trick is that you have to pay the remaining 20 percent yourself upfront before they give you their share. Hence the need to sell the apartment. It is sad to see it have to go, but what choice is there, really?
