In November 1989, Dr. Vallejo-Nágera was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and knew from the start that his illness was terminal. Despite having only a few months to live, he continued to fulfill his professional commitments, completing his book on public speaking and participating in a radio program and a television talk show. In a moving interview, he shared his views on life, his Catholic faith, and his belief that death is a door to hope. This interview inspired him to write "The Door of Hope," where he recounts aspects of his life and times. Due to his advanced illness, he received assistance from his friend José Luis Olaizola, who helped him write the book. In the last two months of his life, they engaged in recorded conversations that Olaizola transformed into a sincere and profound narrative, revealing Vallejo-Nágera's unique personality as a doctor, painter, bookbinder, writer, athlete, and, above all, as a man, husband, and father. Olaizola captured the essence of these conversations, enriching them with testimonies from those who knew the doctor, creating a powerful and truthful account.
