Gaming helps grandmother cope with cancer

23ABC's Cassie Carlisle tells us about a local grandmothers and how she's fighting a rare form of cancer through video games.

Terry Bolt, 64, was diagnosed four years ago with a rare form of cancer, Neuroendocrine Carcinoma. At first doctors said she had only six months or so to live.

After a second opinion, surgery and treatments -- the healing process was slow. Bolt discovered an online game, before the surgery, through her sister.

When she saw World of Warcraft, she was surprised by the graphics and the things you could do in the game.

"That's what's nice about gaming, when things have got you down you can go into this completely new world," Bolt said.

Bolt used the game as an escape before and after her surgery to cope with what was happening.
