'My hair has been falling out like crazy since the surgery,' she said in a video shared with fans. 'Five weeks today since my surgery and I'm feeling okay.' Speaking in the video while doing her hair and makeup, Jessie J also explained her breasts remain uneven post-surgery and pointed to ongoing discomfort on her right side.

She captioned the post: 'Blood warning! 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,' she said.'Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!' Jessie J reflected on her emotional experience in a recent interview with the Sunday Times , saying she wished she'd had more of a chance to 'say goodbye' to her right breast before the mastectomy, describing how she 'broke down in tears' after seeing her scars: 'I can't believe this has happened.' Despite managing other health conditions, including Meniere's disease and obsessive-compulsive disorder, the pop star returned to the stage at Wembley for a major show just days before her surgery, telling the audience it was her 'last show before I go beat breast cancer.' Jessie J, who's been a fixture on the charts for over a decade, said her new single 'No Secrets' reflects on the impact of personal struggles, loss, and fame. She's now focused on balancing her health, family, and career as she navigates this new chapter. 'I'm just trying to figure out what the next six months is going to look like,' she said. 'I know that it has to change and I can't do everything that I was supposed to be doing but I just want to be able to make it work as best I can for everybody. Me. Sky. My fans. My perspective on everything has changed so much.'

Sound Pharma to Present at Upcoming Life Science Investor Conferences
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 8, 2025-- Sound Pharmaceuticals is pleased to announce that it has been invited to present its R&D and financing goals at four upcoming life science and healthcare investor conferences over the next month. 24 th Annual Needham Healthcare Conference on April 9-10 25 th Life Sciences Innovation Northwest on April 23-24 Citibank Biotech Private Access Investor Day on April 24 Morgan Stanley Inaugural Private Company & Investor Day on May 5 Dr. Jonathan Kil, Co-Founder and CEO will provide an update on SPI-1005, the novel oral anti-inflammatory, the first investigational drug to achieve its co-primary endpoints in a pivotal Phase 3 randomized double blinded placebo-controlled trial (RCTs) to treat Meniere's disease (STOPMD-3). There are no FDA approved drugs for the treatment of hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness or vertigo, the primary symptoms of MD. SPI-1005 has achieved positive safety and efficacy results in five different RCTs involving MD, acute noise-induced hearing loss, and aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity. About SPI-1005 SPI-1005 is an investigational new drug that contains ebselen, a new chemical entity that mimics and induces glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity. GPx1 is a critical enzyme that repairs injured and dying cells in the inner ear, retina, prefrontal cortex of brain, lung, and kidney, and is often reduced during and after exposure to environmental insults or aging. Consequently, neuroinflammation can progress throughout the peripheral and central nervous system leading to neurodegeneration. SPI-1005 is being developed for several neurotologic indications including Meniere's disease (hearing loss, tinnitus, intermittent dizziness, and episodic vertigo), noise-induced hearing loss (including tinnitus) and two types of ototoxicity (hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, or vertigo) caused by aminoglycoside antibiotics (such as tobramycin or amikacin) or platinum-based chemotherapy (such as cisplatin or carboplatin). To date, no significant drug-drug interactions have been observed across multiple study populations including Meniere's disease, and patients with cystic fibrosis, bipolar mania, and treatment-resistant depression. Thirteen SPI-1005 trials have been completed treating 790 patients with 400+ more anticipated later this year. About Sound Pharmaceuticals Sound Pharma is a private biotechnology company studying SPI-1005 under six active Investigational New Drug Applications involving several neurotologic indications including the prevention and treatment of aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity co-funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and hearing preservation in cochlear implant patients co-funded by MED-EL. Details of the SPI-1005 clinical trials can be viewed online at or Please contact [email protected] for further information. SOURCE: Sound Pharmaceuticals Copyright Business Wire 2025.
