35-year-old mother of two Kristy Cruise is slowly dying. A radical procedure could save her life but Australian doctors are refusing to treat her. So Kristy is going to Russia to be blasted with chemotherapy for days before being re-injected with her own stem cells. She hopes the treatment will stop her slow decline from multiple sclerosis. Already she's confined to a wheelchair with no feeling down her left side, suffering severe exhaustion and facing cognitive decline. The trip to Russia is physically, emotionally and financially taxing, but it's Kristy's last chance at salvaging some time with her husband and two young boys. 60 Minutes has been following Kristy on her journey and the results will send shockwaves through Australia's medical establishment.
