Jessie J admits she may 'seem down' when fans meet her as she's still 'out of it' following her mastectomy as she shares candid update amid breast cancer diagnosis
The singer, 37, underwent surgery 12 days ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer, but said in an update last week that the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'.
Taking to Instagram Stories to share a lengthy update, Jessie that she's still 'a little uncomfortable' following her surgery, but has stopped taking her pain medication as it's 'not her thing.'
The Price Tag hitmaker revealed last month she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer, and while she reassured fans it's been 'caught early,' she shared her plans to take a break from performing while she recovers.
In her post, Jessie wrote: 'For those asking for a health update. l am 11 days post surgery. I'm good.
'Missing being an active Mum / human the most. But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.
'It's still uncomfortable / a little painful but l can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean.'
She continued: 'I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don't overdo it.
'I have now done a [poo emoji]. Still have my drain. Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys
'I carry mine on the floor when l'm home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it's out by the end of the week. I am feeling positive and grateful.'
In another update, Jessie told her fans that may seem 'a little out of it' when fans see her out and about, admitting her road to recover is a 'slow road.'
She added: 'If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctors appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I am seem a little out of it. I am.
'It's not personal. I don't have what l usually have to give energy wise, understandably.
'I will get there. It's a slow road. For now l am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive.'
Jessie previously confirmed that she is not cancer free, a day after posting her hopes to be rid of the disease.
The singer said on Friday that her previous post had been 'misunderstood' and while she was 'praying' for good news, the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'.
Jessie went on to say that she was awaiting test results and would be taking a week's break from social media in order to 'focus on her recovery '.
Speaking about the misunderstanding she wrote: 'I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone'.
'This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't.
She went on: 'A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately'.
Later Jessie said: 'Tapping off socials for a week. Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread'.
'My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee'.
The mix up came after she shared a health update on Instagram on Thursday which read: 'Pros: Cancer has all gone.'
She added that her mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery had gone well as she quipped: 'My nipple is where it used to be.'
Continuing her list of pros, Jessie wrote: 'I can watch Love Island with no guilt. I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever.'
She added that her partner Chanan Safir Colman and their son Sky have been providing support as well as her mother.
'My mum lives with us. Sky just being Sky. Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10.'
'Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other.'
Later Jessie confirmed that while she had written the 'cancer is gone' she included a fingers crossed emoji as 'it's a hope not a fact'.
She added: 'I only had my surgery 4 days ago. I was just saying the pros of surgery and this situation and being positive.
'But I will get my results soon. And hopefully I can post that as a fact. But for now I don't know. But I will stay positive and talk what I want into the universe'.

"Every night is the crowd's first night," he noted. "So every night's got that same energy to it, but it's been truly amazing."I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it at the minute."After breaking the Internet last year when tickets were released, in controversial fashion due to dynamic pricing meaning many fans missed out or paid over the odds, the brothers first re-emerged on-stage together at the packed home of Welsh rugby with their arms both raised came after many years of solo releases and very public bickering from the estranged BBC's music correspondent Mark Savage noted how the band sounded the "best they've been since the '90s" on their return, which he wrote felt "like a reconciliation - or a sigh of relief - as the brothers buried the hatchet of a decades-long feud and reconnected with their fans". 'Grossly underestimated' Speaking on Tuesday, in what is thought to be the first time publicly about their comeback, which has since also rolled into their hometown Manchester and Edinburgh, Noel Gallagher said: "I grossly underestimated what I was getting into.""After about five minutes, I was like, alright can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?"I've done stadiums before and all that but I don't mind telling you, my legs had turned to Jelly after about halfway through the second song [Acquiese, which sees the brothers duet together]. And I could have done with going back and taking a minute."But it's been an amazing thing." 'Proud' of Liam Asked how he had felt about his brother giving him a little hug on-stage at the end of the first gig, Gallagher noted: "We're not those kind of guys really, you know what I mean?"It's great just to be back with Bonehead [Oasis's founding guitarist] and Liam and just be doing it again."I guess when it's all said and done, we'll sit and reflect on it. But it's great being back in the band with Liam - I forgot how funny he was."He added that Liam was "smashing it" and that he was "proud of him", joking that his apparent return to singing form must be down to "AI".The 58-year-old, who has been singing five of the 23 songs each night throughout the tour, continued: "Having fronted a band [Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds] for 16 years. I know how difficult that is."I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it; it's not in my nature. But I've got to say, I think, you know, good for you mate. He's been amazing."He brushed aside an attempt to ask what might happen with the band at the scheduled end of the tour in November. The Oasis Live '25 reunion tour has made the headlines since it Oasis fan died when he fell from a height at one of the band's Wembley Stadium concerts this Wembley's authorities said they were investigating allegations that hundreds of Oasis fans were able to sneak into one of the gigs at the venue without a gigs so far have also provided many memorable viral moments, including a marriage proposal at Murrayfield, where Liam also described the City of Edinburgh Council as "a bunch of snakes", following a report which had suggested the band's fans would be "rowdy" and "intoxicated".The band next play in Toronto on Sunday evening.

Jenny, who hails from Scotland, is known for her work on BBC Sport and TNT Sports, where she specialises in tennis, rugby, and golf. She previously opened up about being a female in a male-dominated industry and told the Daily Mail: 'As a female you get commented on how you look and what you wear rather than how you perform as a presenter or reporter. 'Then people criticise the angle of your questions or how articulate you were in the way that you said something. That p****s me off, for sure. 'I use Twitter/X for work but am not active on it. I'm sensitive and can't hack that (abuse) side of it, so I don't even bother looking.' 3
