Grandmother who uses World of Warcraft to cope with cancer became the heart of a new documentary

Terry Bolt started playing World of Warcraft with her sister at 60, shortly before she was due to retire. Two weeks after she left her job as a middle school teacher, doctors diagnosed her with an aggressive form of hormonal cancer and gave her six months — at most — to live.

That was four years ago. Today, she counts the massively multiplayer online game as a distraction from the tough times, a place to sound off without worrying family, and a hang out friends.
