Jessie J Updates Fans After Undergoing Surgery For Breast Cancer
Jessie J has confirmed she's now recovering at home after undergoing surgery as part of her breast cancer treatment. Earlier this month, the chart-topping singer disclosed that she'd been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer shortly after the release of her single No Secrets in April. She then said that, following her performance at the Capital Summertime Ball, she'd be taking time out from the spotlight to have surgery. On Monday night, Jessie shared a series of pictures and videos on Instagram confirming that she'd had the operation, including a selfie from her hospital bed. 'This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours,' she told her followers. 'I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through.' Sharing her gratitude with her doctors, surgeons and nurses, as well as the family and friends who visited her in hospital, she confirmed: 'I am home now, to rest and wait for my results.' 'Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now,' she added. 'We all got this!' Jessie's full post – including a trigger warning for blood – is below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessie J (@jessiej) In her original post announcing her diagnosis, Jessie admitted she'd been 'going back and forth' about whether she wanted to share her diagnosis. Ultimately, though, she decided: '[I wanted] to be open and share it [because] I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it, because I'm working so hard. '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. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so [many] similar [situations] and worse. That's the bit that kills me.'

In 2023, the Brit Award winner welcomed a son, her first child, with her partner, basketball pro Chanan Safir Colman.

Jessie J shares ‘lows and highs' of breast cancer journey following surgery
The Price Tag singer announced in early June that she had been diagnosed with early breast cancer and that she would be undergoing treatment. The artist, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, posted a carousel of images and videos on Instagram on Monday evening documenting the 48 hours before and after her surgery. She said: 'This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours. 'I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through. Grateful to my doctor / surgeon and all the nurses who cared for me and all my family / friends who came to visit. 'I am home now, to rest and wait for my results. 'Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!' The carousel included photos and videos of the singer in the hospital, her partner Chanan Safir Colman, and their child, Sky Safir Cornish Colman. In one of the videos the singer is seen singing the words: 'I've now been at the hospital for six-and-a-half hours and I'm still waiting to go down to the theatre.' Jessie J backstage during Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium, London (Ian West/PA) The singer-songwriter, best known for her number one songs Domino, Price Tag, and Bang Bang, performed at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on June 15 and made an emotional speech promising to 'beat breast cancer' in her final performance before her surgery. She said: 'I feel so proud to be feeling OK, to be this honest person where you say what you feel, and this being my last show before I go and have surgery.' The artist has battled with ill health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020. She was awarded four Mobo awards in 2011, including best UK act, best newcomer, best song for Do It Like A Dude and best album with Who You Are and won the Brit Award for rising star in 2011.
