Can Cancer be Prevented? How? A 31 Day Journey to Cancer Prevention Series!

Interview with Viki Zarkin: An Eleven Year Journey Surviving with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Viki recently published her incredible story in a book entitled, I am the One. In addition to being an author, Vicki is a nationally known motivational speaker and coach. Her cancer journey is a testimony to the determination of the human spirit. She stresses the importance of believing in yourself, challenging the status quo, finding your voice, and listening to your heart. In simple terms something I emphasize in all my podcasts and videos, to be one’s own best advocate.
At the time of her diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, Viki had 2 small children at home. She vowed to do all she could to survive to raise them herself despite her doctor’s advice to simply go home and get her affairs in order. She spent the next several years fighting for her life, advocating for herself and navigating through the healthcare system. Viki states, “After eleven years, I am told I am the only one alive like me. I want more women to stand next to me shoulder to shoulder. They too deserve to tuck their children into bed at night. So, it is up to me to fight for them, and fight I will.”
Viki shares her story to be a voice for women. Today we will hear her story and why she wrote a book titled, “I Am The One,” which is available on her website IAMTHEONE.com and Amazon. She also lectures about doctor- patient relationships, nutrition, and appreciating the “little things in life”, and juggling motherhood and cancer.
