It was on the day I was to leave for Delhi for my surgery that my friend, Rakhee Kalita Moral hugging me, thrusting her lucky charm into my palm, suggested I should write down my experience as a cancer patient. And immediately I took up her suggestion, on the very day I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Yes, I started writing from that very day. I kept on writing, at any time of the day, waiting at the airport for our flight to Delhi, while waiting for the doctor outside the chamber at Fortis, in the hotel room, in the hospital bed of Fortis, while taking chemo at State Cancer Institute in Guwahati, at all times -be it morning, afternoon, late evening or midnight. It is a record of my journey through cancer. I want to share my experiences with a wider world of readers, as I feel this may help people who take life for granted with the belief that cancer happens to others, not to them, women who think nothing can be wrong with their bodies just because there is no outward sign and do not go for yearly checkup, and for those diagnosed with cancer. Hence, this book.
