At 35 years old, Emily Jungblut was given a statistic that was hard to ignore: a 39% chance of surviving breast cancer. It wasn’t encouraging—but it also wasn’t the end of the story. Big Boob is a raw, witty, and deeply relatable memoir about facing impossible odds when you’re far too young for cancer and far too stubborn to surrender quietly.
Emily was healthy, active, and immersed in a life she loved when a strange sensation in the shower set off alarm bells. She knew her body well, and this wasn’t normal. One breast was swollen, different, unfamiliar. Trusting her instincts, she began pushing for answers—an act of self-advocacy that would soon become essential.
After navigating a frustrating medical maze, Emily received the diagnosis she dreaded: rare and aggressive inflammatory breast cancer. The prognosis, as one doctor understatedly described it, was “not great.” Instead of looking away from the reality, Emily chose to face it head-on. With clear eyes and a refusal to sugarcoat the truth, she dove into treatment believing that sometimes the only way forward is to acknowledge the worst-case scenario and keep moving anyway.
Big Boob is brutally honest and unexpectedly funny, capturing the surreal experience of confronting mortality with ferocious optimism and sanity-saving sarcasm. From receiving sympathy cards meant for funerals to finding meaning in signs from beyond the grave, Emily recounts a journey filled with grief, resilience, laughter, and an endless supply of well-intentioned—but often questionable—casseroles.
More than a cancer memoir, Big Boob is a guide for surviving hard things with your humanity intact. It’s about friendship, intuition, strange comforts, and learning how to accept support when you need it most. For patients, survivors, caregivers, or anyone walking through a difficult season, this book offers humor, hope, and the reminder that you are not alone—and you may come out stronger than you expect.
