Jessie J hospitalised with infection six weeks after breast cancer surgery
Jessie J posted a photo on Instagram Stories from her hospital bed with an intravenous cannula in her arm. Photos: Jessie J/Instagram British pop star Jessie J is facing another health scare less than two months after undergoing surgery for breast cancer. The 37-year-old revealed on social media in June that she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and went for a procedure to treat the disease. But in a post titled 'How I spent the last 24 hours' on Instagram Stories on Aug 3, she revealed she returned to the same hospital ward six weeks post-surgery. She wrote the admission was 'not expected or planned', and she had and still has symptoms that point towards a blood clot in the lung. Clarifying that it is not a blood clot, the Flashlight (2015) singer uploaded a photo from her hospital bed with an intravenous cannula in her arm. 'They ran a lot of tests, which ended up showing I have an infection (still trying to figure out what) and a little fluid (in) my lungs,' she said. 'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in hospital) and will continue the investigation as an outpatient.' Jessie J, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, disclosed on social media in July 2024 she was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. She has a two-year-old son with her boyfriend, Danish-Israeli professional basketball player Chanan Colman, 41. In a second post on Instagram Stories on Aug 3, she wrote: 'For me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery.' She added that the physical recovery is 'far from quick or easy', and 'mentally, it's been the most challenging time'. 'Especially as a mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am. And having to change the plans for my career for this year has been frustrating after working so hard to get to the point and excited to do it all. But it's life. I know that. 'And don't get me wrong, getting the all-clear was and is incredible, but that result didn't speed up or make the recovery from the surgery any easier physically,' she said. Jessie J wrote a third post on her health scare, saying it was a reminder to herself to slow down, even though she felt like she was at a 'tortoise' pace right now. 'This isn't a speedy recovery. And it isn't meant to be,' she wrote. 'That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept. I love moving and working and being up and active, but I can't be right now, and that's what it is. 'And I am finding strength in knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner circle.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Jessie J Confirms Positive Update In Cancer Battle, Giving Credit To Her Son: 'Happy Tears Are Real!'
Jessie J is crying tears of joy about her cancer battle. More than a month after the English singer shocked the world with her breast cancer diagnosis, she now has positive news to share with fans. The update comes weeks after Jessie took a break from the spotlight to undergo surgery. In an Instagram post, Jessie confirmed to her followers that her surgery yielded great results. "And…I AM OK. Results = I have NO cancer spread. Happy tears are real!" she penned. The "Flashlight" singer became emotional as she expressed her gratitude to fans for their prayers, love, and positive energy during the tough time. Alongside the message was a sweet clip of her son, Sky, reciting positive affirmations after his mother. "Say Mommy's gonna be okay," the singer called out to her son, who then repeated it in the cutest voice. "This video is from the night before my surgery," Jessie explained about the video in the caption. "We called it baby boy." The doting mother then gushed about her two-year-old carrying her through her health battle, writing: "You are my biggest ray of light, and with you in my life the darkness will never win." Concluding her post, The Voice UK judge confirmed that the coast wasn't, however, completely clear. "Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters," she wrote. Nevertheless, the singer is basking in "gratitude time" and changing her name to "The LopJess monster." Jessie's positive update was warmly received by her fan base, who flooded the comment section with encouraging remarks. "Been a fan for 10 years and counting. I love you. Best News Ever!! We are waiting now for your full recovery and the new album as well. Rest well, my queen, first," one heartwarming comment read. Another lovely remark read, "Oh, thank you so very much for sharing the wonderful news--and in the best way possible. We continue to send you so much love and healing wishes." A third fan gushed, "The news everyone wanted to hear at the start of the week! Get in! F-ck cancer!" Other users couldn't help but gush about Jessie's bond with Sky. "You are such a mom, which is saying something because you are [red heart emoji]," this fan added. Since coming clean about her diagnosis, the 37-year-old has been an open book throughout her journey. Such was the case last month when she gave fans a glimpse of how her surgery went. As The Blast reported, Jessie shared photos and clips just 48 hours after going under the knife. Defending her choice to be transparent, the songstress revealed, "[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. I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through." True to her words, the carousel included emotional clips of Jessie crying before the surgery as well as the blood loss she suffered in the aftermath. Prior to her positive update, Jessie had fans confused when her post-surgery manifestation was mistaken as the result. However, she had to clear the air because it was too soon to tell. Following a post where she declared, "The cancer has all gone," the Critics' Choice Award winner clarified that it was only a manifestation of recovery and not a fact. "I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers-crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand, and clearly a lot didn't," she explained. "A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer." Jessie noted that the earlier post was simply a discussion of the pros and cons of her health journey. Before making it out in the clear, Jessie warned fans about the state of her health amid recovery from her mastectomy. In an Instagram Stories post, the "Bang Bang" songstress revealed she was "a little uncomfortable" as she had quit painkillers, focusing on exercises and rest as her only rehabilitation. As a result, the 37-year-old advised fans that she may seem "a little out of it" if they run into her in public. "It's not personal. I don't have what l usually have to give energy-wise, understandably. I will get there. It's a slow road. For now, I am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive," she added.
