Jessie J Undergoing New Surgery amid Brutal Breast Cancer Recovery
Jessie J is set to undergo another surgery this year amid her brutal recovery from her last breast cancer procedure.
'I'm just flowing with life. Learning about who I am in motherhood and when my health goes left unexpectedly,' the singer, 37, wrote in an emotional Instagram post Friday.
'I am 7 weeks post breast cancer surgery. I'm still in the thick of recovery and my body is still finding its way. But I LOVE music and I LOVE my life and I want to LIVE in the moment,' the mom of one added.
Jessie J — born Jessica Cornish — noted that despite 'another surgery needed this year,' raising her young son, and releasing new music all while battling cancer, she is confident she can do it all.
'It will look different to what I had planned but that's life, things change and either we panic and get mad that it isn't what is was going to be, or we ADAPT. 🌱'
The 'Price Tag' singer revealed her early breast cancer diagnosis in June in a heartfelt video, admitting that she wasn't 'processing it' and needed a hug.
'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories,' she said, explaining the reason behind her choice to go public with the diagnosis.
The pop star detailed her 'worst day so far' in her cancer journey later that month.
'Work. Toddler. Cancer. Life etc had my mind… Panic attacks/tears/big fears/anger/overwhelm/Bad,' she said on her Instagram Story at the time.
The 'Bang Bang' hitmaker also urged her fans to 'acknowledge fear, anger, sadness, panic… and let it come up and come out.'
She shared heartbreaking footage from the hospital after undergoing surgery on June 23.
One heart-wrenching clip showed the musician explaining to her 2-year-old son, Sky, that the surgery involved her blood being drained from her breasts.
'So the water and the blood comes out of mommy's booby and comes out of the tube and into the bottle,' she told her toddler.
It also saw Cornish's partner, Chanan Colman, comforting her and planting a kiss on her forehead as she awaited surgery.
The couple were first linked in April 2022 when they were spotted together during an outing in LA.
After having suffered a miscarriage in 2021, Jessie J welcomed her rainbow baby with the basketball player in May 2023.
Last month, the Grammy nominee shared a positive health update that her cancer had not spread after the surgery in June, through a touching video showing her teaching her son to say, 'Mummy's gonna be okay.'
Despite the hopeful news, she was hospitalized last week when she showed 'symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung.'
'Six weeks post-surgery, and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned,' she wrote on her Instagram Stories, alongside a photo of her arm plugged into IVs.
The London native shared that her doctors suspected that she had 'a little fluid' in her lungs and an unknown infection, but that she discharged herself from the hospital the same night because she 'hates' being there.
'I know many people who will have gone through this or similar may agree with me or not, and that's OK,' the 'Domino' singer wrote in a follow-up post, defending her decision to leave the hospital.
'I know, for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery. The recovery, physically, is far from quick or easy.'

‘Knowledge Lounge' launches rich line-up of knowledge and creative events for August - Middle East Business News and Information
Dubai, UAE, August 2025 – 'Knowledge Lounge,' one of the many innovative initiatives of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), is organizing a rich line-up of events for August, aligning with its mission to foster a sustainable, knowledge-based society and embed quality reading into everyday life. The events, designed for various age groups across cities in the UAE and beyond, blend knowledge-sharing activities, creative workshops, and thought-provoking discussions, combining engagement, expertise, and innovation. The agenda commenced with the Knowledge Lounge in Canada, featuring a discussion session on the educational book ' Our Children Are Gems, But We Are Blacksmiths,' alongside the 'What Are You Reading?' activity, which encouraged participants to share and explore valuable book recommendations through short Instagram videos. Other highlights included the 'Writer of the Future' workshop, aimed at developing young people's writing skills, and the 'Art of Public Speaking' workshop, designed to build participants' confidence in communication. As part of MBRF's 'Our Knowledge Summer' initiative, young readers took part in a session exploring 'The Little Prince' book, using the story to reflect on human values. The 'We Create an Illustrated Story' workshop sparked children's visual imagination and creativity. Meanwhile, the Youth Knowledge Club hosted a discussion titled ' Artificial Intelligence and Literature: Challenges and Opportunities,' addressing the convergence of emerging technologies with creative writing. The Knowledge Lounge featured a discussion on the novel 'Azazel' in Al Ain. Alexandria hosted the 'Book from My Library' session, as part of its efforts to promote knowledge engagement beyond the UAE. Activities continued with the ' Little Calligrapher of Knowledge ' workshop, teaching children the art of Arabic calligraphy and fostering their aesthetic appreciation. In Sharjah and Ajman, participants engaged in a collective reading session of the 'Finding Your Voice' book, promoting dialogue through shared literary experiences. The initiative also hosted a 'Diary Writing' workshop, encouraging participants to engage in the creative documentation of their personal experiences. In commemoration of World Humanitarian Day, a special event was held to inspire values of giving, humanity, and compassion within a voluntary framework. Interactive sessions continued with ' An Inspiring Story Told by a Bird ,' an activity that invited children to craft narratives from imaginative perspectives. In Khorfakkan, an event was held on a specialized personal finance management book, reflecting the initiative's emphasis on economic and financial awareness. The 'Stories Inspired by Pictures' workshop further bridged the gap between visual imagery and narrative creativity. In Abu Dhabi, a session dedicated to the book 'Ikigai' introduced participants to the philosophy of balanced and purposeful living. This was followed by a 'Writing Lounge' session that featured literary works as part of a broader creative awareness series. In Fujairah, the Knowledge Lounge celebrated Emirati Women's Day with a reading centered on women's voices and experiences. The program concludes with two sessions – one in Dubai highlighting women's literary contributions in the UAE, and another in Al Ain offering a reading of a novel exploring philosophical and emotional themes. In addition to these core events, the Knowledge Lounge is also hosting a series of activities throughout August. These include reading sessions such as 'Whose Doll Is This?,' creative interactive workshops like ' Your Favourite Character: Let's Create It Together, ' which merges drawing and literature, alongside the 'Read Book Series' workshop to introduce educational and developmental books to participants. Additionally, 'Let's Create an Illustrated Story' and 'Little Calligrapher of Knowledge' will also be held, enriching the month's agenda.
