Jessie J Reveals 'Insane' Blood Loss From Breast Cancer Surgery In Emotional Health Update
The British singer, who revealed her cancer diagnosis earlier this month, left the spotlight to undergo surgery. Now, she is being honest with fans about the downsides of the procedure.
In an Instagram post, Jessie gave fans an update following a successful surgery. She revealed that it came 48 hours after she went under the knife.
"[red exclamation point emoji] Blood warning [red exclamation point emoji] This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours," the singer began in the caption. "I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through."
True to her words, Jessie posted 16 slides that detailed every phase of her surgery. The upload began with an image of the singer, fresh-faced from surgery, lying on the hospital bed. Her right breast was evidently plastered up.
Included in the carousel was a snap of the surgeon's markings on the "Price Tag" singer's chest area as well as a video of her singing before heading to the theater. "I've now been at the hospital for six and a half hours and I'm still waiting to go down to the theatre," she belted.
Luckily, Jessie wasn't alone for the challenging procedure. Her partner, Chanan Colman, was pictured in the hospital with her. In one emotional clip, the couple passionately kissed while holding hands as they fought back tears.
The following slide showed the "Nobody's Perfect" singer crying out for her son, Sky, following the procedure. "I was imagining Sky saying 'I love you, mommy,' and I was saying 'I love you back,'" Jessie told her baby daddy, who was filming.
The two-year-old's reunion with his famous mother was detailed in the tear-jerking Instagram post. A cute photo captured the toddler laughing next to his mother on the hospital bed.
Sky wasted no time causing trouble as he was caught playing with his mother's medical equipment before she cautioned him.
The update not only detailed the emotional parts of the surgery but also the real medical side. In one video, Jessie explained to fans that a drip was inserted into her breast.
She then turned the camera to show a container filled with a small amount of blood, which she jokingly referred to as a "goji berry smoothie." In a later update, the container was already halfway filled with blood as Jessie lamented, "Look at that. That is insane. Oh my God."
The 37-year-old also kept it raw with her toddler, as she explained to him how the container receives bodily fluid from her breast.
Alongside the heartfelt post, Jessie expressed deep gratitude for the medical team that took care of her and her loved ones who visited. She then informed fans of her current health status, writing:
"I am home now, to rest and wait for my results [fingers crossed emoji]. Chanan is in a nurse outfit. No no, he isn't, but funny to imagine."
Concluding the caption, she encouraged those facing similar struggles. "Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this," she wrote.
Fans soon bombarded the post with encouraging words for their beloved singer as she recovers. "Ah Jess wow...these posts. I know Sky will be keeping you smiling and giving you strength... big love... you're an absolute warrior. x," one fan wrote.
The positive health update from Jessie comes days after she performed at the Capital's Summertime Ball. It was her last performance before going away for surgery.
While on stage, the British singer spoke about how special the concert felt to her. "Today, this show, is my last show before I go and beat breast cancer. So, it's so special to me. You have no idea," she emotionally revealed.
The "Nobody's Perfect" artist publicly appreciated her partner, son, and family before expressing hope for her cancer battle.
"We are so lucky. We have so much to live for. So much joy; so many things to do," she declared.

5 best psychological thriller movies to stream on Prime Video now
Psychological thrillers have a way of getting under your skin, keeping you on edge long after the movie ends. From tense mind games to stories that blur the line between reality and delusion, this genre thrives on pure shock factor. Luckily for streaming enthusiasts, Prime Video has a rich library of titles that will satisfy anyone craving a chilling, cerebral ride. Whether you prefer slow-burning tension, shocking reveals, or morally complex characters, there's something here for every thriller fan. In this list, we've rounded up five of the best psychological thriller movies currently available on Prime Video. I went into 'Blink Twice' knowing virtually nothing. That meant no trailer, no plot summary, nothing. Walking in blind turned out to be the best decision, because the less I knew, the more unsettling and intense the psychological twists felt. Frida (Naomi Ackie), a nail-art-loving cocktail waitress, works a high-profile event alongside her friend Jess (Alia Shawkat). There, the charming and enigmatic tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) takes notice and invites the pair to join him and his eclectic circle on a private island getaway. The moment they arrive, their phones are confiscated and they're treated to luxurious accommodations, lavish gifts, and heady cocktails. Initially, Frida and Jess find themselves immersed in paradise, mingling with Slater's friends and basking in fine food and indulgent company. But subtle oddities begin to creep in: visitors with matching snake tattoos, memory fogs, and a domestic worker who strangely calls Frida 'Red Rabbit.' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Stream it on Prime Video If there's a single reason to watch 'Speak No Evil,' it's James McAvoy. He delivers one of the most compelling performances of his career, and frankly, his presence alone can overshadow any small missteps, particularly if you've seen the original and feel the urge to compare. 'Speak No Evil' follows the Dalton family — Louise (Mackenzie Davis), Ben (Scoot McNairy), and their daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler) — as they embark on a seemingly idyllic weekend getaway to a remote English farmhouse. The invitation comes from a British couple, Paddy (McAvoy) and Ciara (Aisling Franciosi), whom they met during a vacation in Italy. Initially charmed by their hosts, the Daltons soon find themselves unsettled by increasingly odd and intrusive behavior. As the weekend progresses, the family's discomfort escalates, leading to a tense and harrowing situation. Stream it on Prime Video Christopher Nolan delivers another masterclass in psychological thrillers with 'Memento.' The movie intricately examines how far someone will go to seek justice, weaving a story that challenges perception and memory. Its densely layered narrative rewards repeated viewings, with each watch uncovering fresh details and deeper insights into its carefully constructed puzzle. Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) is a man on a mission. After a traumatic incident, he suffers from short-term memory loss, leaving him unable to form new memories. To cope, he develops a meticulous system of notes, photographs, and tattoos to track information and people, determined to piece together the events that led to his wife's death. The story unfolds in a unique, disorienting structure: scenes are presented both forwards and backwards, mirroring Leonard's fractured memory. As he investigates, he encounters a mix of allies and potential threats, each interaction further blurring the line between truth and deception. Leonard's reliance on his own records and the people around him becomes a tense balancing act, as every decision carries weight he can't fully recall. Stream it on Prime Video 'The Handmaiden' is a compelling psychological thriller that intertwines deception, desire, and betrayal within a meticulously crafted narrative. The movie's intricate plot is divided into three parts, each offering a new perspective that recontextualizes the story's events. Set in 1930s Korea under Japanese colonial rule, 'The Handmaiden' follows Sook-hee (Kim Tae-ri), a young Korean pickpocket, who is recruited by a conman posing as Count Fujiwara (Ha Jung-woo). Their scheme involves Sook-hee becoming the handmaiden to Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee), a wealthy Japanese heiress living under the strict supervision of her uncle, Kouzuki (Cho Jin-woong). The plan is for Sook-hee to help Fujiwara seduce Lady Hideko, marry her, and have her committed to an asylum to claim her fortune. However, as Sook-hee and Lady Hideko grow closer, unexpected emotions and complexities arise, leading to a series of twists and revelations. Stream it on Prime Video Horror fans, I have a solid pick for you. 'Saint Maud' is a dark psychological thriller that isn't afraid to be frightening, as it delves into the unraveling mind of a devout nurse whose obsession with saving her patient's soul takes a chilling and unpredictable turn. Maud (Morfydd Clark), a deeply devout and socially isolated young nurse, takes on the care of Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), a glamorous but terminally ill dancer who lives alone in a modernist house. Maud is obsessed with salvation and sees her work as a calling, determined to guide Amanda toward spiritual redemption. As she tends to Amanda, Maud becomes increasingly consumed by her own beliefs, and the boundaries between her faith, reality, and obsession begin to blur. The movie follows Maud's descent into a world where her intense devotion and fragile mental state collide, creating a tense, unsettling atmosphere. As she interprets every action and word through the lens of her religious conviction, small incidents escalate into moments of profound dread. Stream it on Prime Video
