Jessie J in devastating admission as she reveals recovery struggles after mastectomy
Jessie J has candidly revealed what she is struggling with following her mastectomy operation. The singer, 37, had surgery four weeks ago after confirming she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Now, after confirming no cancer had spread, the mum-of-one has admitted to what she is finding most difficult in her recovery period. Taking to Instagram on Friday, Jessie confessed she was heartbroken at not being allowed to lift her two-year-old son, Sky.
The singer, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, confirmed her emotions were "catching up with her" in the sad update. However, her thoughts of the future and being able to lift her son are getting her through it, she said.
She uploaded a number of throwback images to her Instagram account of her and her son in a recording studio. She captioned the post: "'It will be 4 weeks since my breast cancer surgery on Saturday. I am feeling good. Some days are harder than others.
"My movement is good, still very sore but I am getting more like myself everyday. Mentally it's all catching up with me. So giving myself a little space to feel it all. It's a [rollercoaster] for sure.
"Sky has gone away for 2 weeks with his Dad to his Danish fam, but also so I can rest and do physio. (And re organise the whole house with my Mum and my sister as my body) lol. My adhd and ocd still going strong."
The Price Tag singer went on: "I'm not allowed to pick Sky up for a few months and that has been a difficult adjustment, I just want to hold him like this and spin around. But in the bigger picture it's a small sacrifice to have my health and to still be here.
"The day will come I can lift him up for a cuddle. I can't wait for that day. That day is what gets me through these days. These days are weird. I love being your Mum Sky. I miss my boys."
The candid confession was met with an influx of support in the comments section. Many of her followers reached out to tell her "you've got this," while others said they were saying prayers for the star.
The latest update comes a week after she posted a picture of her son saying 'mummy's going to be OK' on Instagram while announcing the news that her cancer hadn't spread. She said in the post: 'And I am OK, results = I have no cancer spread, happy tears are real. Thank you for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.
'This video is from the night before my surgery. We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life, the darkness will never win. Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters, but for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.'
