She was 35 and had a 39% chance of surviving breast cancer, but she wasn't going to let those odds stop her. Big Boob is a raw, witty, and wildly relatable story of what it means to survive when you're too young for cancer and too stubborn to go quietly.
At 35, Emily Jungblut was a healthy woman living an energetic and engaged life when she felt something very wrong in the shower. She had always examined her own breasts, and this wasn't what her boobs had always felt like-one seemed swollen and larger.
Pushing through the medical system and advocating for herself to get some answers, Emily got the diagnosis she feared: She had a rare and aggressive form of inflammatory breast cancer with a survival rate that was-as one of her doctors poetically put it-not great. So Emily dove into her treatment with open-eyed realism. Sometimes, knowing the worst-case scenario is what helps you face the odds and keep going.
Big Boob is a brutally honest and surprisingly funny memoir about confronting a terrifying diagnosis with ferocious optimism and sanity-saving sarcasm. From receiving her own funeral cards to decoding signs from beyond the grave, Emily charts a path through illness and recovery that includes grief, hope, and some truly questionable casseroles.
More than a cancer memoir, this is a guidebook for laughing through hell, navigating the ups and downs of treatment, and building a support system that actually supports you. Whether it's the magic of true friendships, strangely intuitive cats, or a bird's nest outside your window, Big Boob will inspire you to find joy and keep going.
For breast cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, or anyone who needs a laugh during a rough season, Big Boob will make you feel seen-and maybe even a little stronger.
