When Viki Zarkin first found out that she had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, it was like a punch to the gut.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Things grew worse when the doctor told her to get her affairs in order, but she refused to give up that easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018you talk about consulting with all these other doctors but you never consulted me,’\u201d Zarkin told LancasterOnline<\/a>. \u201c\u2018You never asked me what I want and I\u2019m going to be the one. I\u2019m going to make it. I don\u2019t care what you cut off me, I don\u2019t care what you stick in me. I\u2019m going to make it. I\u2019m a mom.’\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Zarkin promised herself and her family that she wouldn\u2019t go down without a fight, and 11 years later, she\u2019s still here to talk about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

She has even written about her cancer battle in her new book titled \u201cI Am The One.\u201d In her book, she talks about her breast cancer journey, and how she is the only woman alive with her aggressive form of cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only has she published a book documenting the last decade, but she has also become a motivational speaker, with a course for women with cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n
