For sytten år siden oppdaget jeg, gjennom en skanning av min egen hjerne, at jeg selv hadde hjernekreft. Sannsynligheten var stor for at jeg gikk en tidlig død i møte. Jeg var blitt kreftpasient, og kunne ikke lenger skjule meg bak posisjonen som lege og forsker.Denne boken er fortellingen om hva som skjedde etterpå: Om å vende tilbake til liv og helse, faktisk til en bedre livskvalitet og helsetilstand. Dette er historien om hvordan jeg brukte mine kunnskaper som fagperson til å saumfare den medisinske litteraturen for nær sagt alt som kunne bidra til å bedre sjansene mine. Det aller viktigste er at resultatet ble et nytt, vitenskapelig perspektiv på kreft, som kan øke mulighetene for å beskytte oss mot denne sykdommen. Nå har jeg holdt min kreftsykdom under kontroll i sju år. - Hvordan? Jo, jeg mener å ha tatt i bruk, på en enda bedre måte, de delene av kroppen som er naturlig innstilt på å bekjempe celler som ellers ville ha kunnet utvikle seg til en tumor - og bli til kreft.
