He didn't like going to the doctors but in this case  he had to. His brother brought him to the doctors.    Terry got an MRI   and X-Ray done on his knee.  The doctor called Terrys brother Darrel  out to talk to him .  He told Darrel to sit down. When a doctor says to sit down it isn't good news. The doctor told Darrel  '' Terry has  stage 4 of a rare type of  bone cancer  and we need to amputate his leg amediatly .Darrel was just in shock. Darrel told  Terry what happend. Terry  was in shock too . He Didn't believe what he was hearing .  The Doctors rushed Terry into emergency surgery . He came out with one less limb that he went in  with. It took 10 months of recovery to get Terry back on his feet .  He was determined to get back on his feet and play basketball again. When he was in recovery he was thinking  '' I want to make a difference ,  i want to run across Canada''. He told his mom  and his mom said no .  Terry told her the reason and she agreed . He ran straight for 143 days on his amputated leg . he slept for about 5 hours  each day  then kept on going. When he got to Ontario  he suddenly got really tired. He wanted to go on but he couldn't . He went to the doctors again and they said ''  The cancer has spread all over  your body ''. '' You only have  a few weeks to live  if your lucky''.
