Got Cancer?: Spring Break Gone Bad James J. Gaudio

Got Cancer? (Spring Break Gone Bad) is the diary-like account of James J. Gaudio?s induction into a club that is perfectly indiscriminate in regard to membership, i.e., the cancer patients? club. The narrative recounts the three principal components constituting Gaudio?s initiation: the insidious attack that the killer waged against him for months, an intense eleven days of hospitalization, and a substantially altered self-portrait of himself.

This cathartic work offers service to: Cancer patients Potential cancer patients The families and friends of cancer patients The medical community

For thirteen years, Gaudio worked as a high school chemistry teacher until cancer abruptly ended his school year in April 2007. Like millions before and millions to follow, cancer made him a most reluctant expert regarding a most unwanted fate.
