Torn from his life by the supposedly fatal diagnosis of acute leukaemia, the author finds himself in intensive care. This was followed by months of chemotherapy and years of outpatient follow-up. As a turning point, he quickly realises that this is also a part of his life. He takes steps to make the most of the short time he has left. Along with the ups and downs of cancer treatment, he also sees funny things, has wonderful experiences and makes new friends. During his follow-up treatment, he starts making notes about this time. And then, by chance, he finds his personal retreat for three months on a small mountain farm in the lower Himalayas. Here he combines his experiences and impressions from the past illness with everyday life in Darjeeling. Is this the end of his leukaemia story?
