Indiana high school tennis coach battling stage 4 brain cancer: 'I do consider myself lucky'

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — If not for a fishing trip in Myrtle Beach, one where the waters became rocky, the boat started wobbling and Chris Sciaudone fell face first into the deck of the boat. If not for that fishing trip, he likely would not be on the tennis courts of Guerin Catholic High (Noblesville, Indiana) telling his story.

Doctors call what happened on that fishing boat in 2015 an incidental find — a find before Sciaudone had any symptoms that he had stage 3 anaplastic astrocytoma, a rare, cancerous brain tumor.
