'I'm highlighting the world 'early.' Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period. I just wanted to be open and share it,' she continued.
The vocalist stated that she isn't discussing it properly and is 'not processing it because I'm working so hard,' in order to cope with the diagnosis. She shared the news with others as she wanted to be transparent.
'I know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book,' the London-born crooner said. 'It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me.'
Stressing that this 'wasn't something' she planned, Jeessie J called the whole topic and situation 'weird'.

All jokes aside (You know it's one of the ways I get through hard times) This last 2 months have been so amazing, and having this go on along side it on the sideline's has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT… Your girl needs a hug.'
