Jessie J Makes Devastating Confession After Revealing Cancer Diagnosis
Jessie J has made a heartbreaking admission after revealing her cancer diagnosis to fans.
The singer announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer on June 4, with fans all around the world left devastated by the revelation.
Despite the diagnosis, the ‘Price Tag’ singer was still able to show up for her adoring fans and perform at Capital’s Summertime Ball festival on June 15.
Her shock diagnosis came as a result of the star being ‘in and out of tests’ for some time.
Jessie, who became a mom in 2023, explained on Instagram that she is hopeful about her diagnosis, given that it was found ‘early.’
She said: “Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early.'”
The star said she wanted to be open about her diagnosis in order to process it and to help others.
“I just wanted to be open and share it,” the ‘Bang Bang’ singer explained. “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 – that’s the bit that kills me.”
But following a recent post that the star made about the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of having mastectomy surgery, fans misinterpreted a vital fact about the situation.
Jessie followed the misunderstanding up with a separate post, clarifying what she meant.
She wrote: “I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was… the cancer has all gone.”
Following the mishap, the singer added: “This was a positive affirmation 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.
“A weird situation, my fault for not being clearer.”
However, she has since shared a positive update with fans.
“I AM OK Results = I have NO cancer spread,” she wrote on Instagram.
“Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.
“Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters. But for now it’s gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.”
She shared the news alongside a video taken before her surgery of her son, Sky, who can be heard sweetly repeating ‘Mommy’s gonna be okay.’
The singer has shared the heartbreaking admission that one of the hardest parts of her journey has been missing her little boy.
“Missing being an active mom/human the most,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “But it’s been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.”
