SYNOPSIS:

When Bobbi-Lea, 40 and single, wakes up to the buzz of her biological clock she decides to hatch a plan – have babies. Without a man to…make that happen… she decides to freeze her eggs even though this process could carry with it a potentially deadly risk.

Worried the IVF treatment could trigger her family’s cancer gene, Bobbi-Lea decides to undergo a preventative double mastectomy to beat cancer before it beats her. In a cruel twist of irony, the same week Bobbi-Lea is to begin IVF treatment, she learns of her own breast cancer diagnosis.

Part observational, part character-led documentary, Boobs & Babes is an emotional rollercoaster that sees one woman doing whatever it takes to survive the cancer that claimed her mother and sister. Bobbi-Lea finds herself uncovering shocking truths and often questions our complex medical systems in a story of enduring hope and survival in the face of ‘The Cancer Curse’.
