Treatment on the Trail

Watch as Laurie administers her own cancer treatment at 9,800 feet.

Was a bike ride up a mountain the perfect setting that Laurie MacCaskill's doctor would have liked her cancer treatment to be administered? Probably not! But she felt that she was careful, conscientious and most importantly, living her life.
