Pop Star Says She Is 'Going To Disappear For A Bit' After Diagnosis
'Bang Bang' singer Jessie J said Tuesday she has breast cancer and is 'going to disappear for a bit' to have surgery. The British pop star, who recently released a new single, 'No Secrets,' gave her health update on Instagram. (Watch the video below.) 'I want to share it with my fans and the people that care about me, and also I'm a sharer. I've always shared everything that I go through in my life. Before 'No Secrets' came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,' she said. 'I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early,' she continued. 'I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period.' Jessie J, 37, said she was not processing her diagnosis because she's working so hard, but sharing information in the past has helped her feel support. The former Grammy nominee took a lighthearted turn in looking ahead to surgery after a Wembley Stadium concert event June 15. 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job,' she said. 'I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music.'

I've been going back and forth a little bit on (if I) should share it?' she said in the Instagram video. 'I want to, but there are lots of opinions outside, and knowing that the media are going to make this way bigger than it needs to be, but also knowing that I want to share it with my fans and the people that care about me, and also I'm a sharer. 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. 'I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early.

'I just wanted to be open and share it. One, because selfishly, 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 much similar and worse.' Friends and fans took to the comments section of her post with heartfelt messages of support for the star.
