Pop star Jessie J has revealed she recently underwent surgery for breast cancer and is currently recovering at home as she awaits further results.
In a sincere post on social media, the 37-year-old singer conveyed deep appreciation to her physician, surgeon, and the nursing staff who looked after her. She included a collection of personal pictures and videos captured during her stay in the hospital.
Describing the post as a depiction of “the genuine ups and downs of the recent 48 hours,” Jessie emphasized her dedication to revealing “both the positive and challenging aspects of any journey” she undergoes.
The Essex-born artist had first shared news of her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis in early June, receiving an outpouring of support from fellow musicians and fans alike. She mentioned at the time that she would undergo surgery following her appearance at Capital’s Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on June 15.
In her most recent update, she uploaded pictures of her partner, Chanan Safir Colman, and their son visiting her at the hospital, as well as a video of herself singing from her hospital bed before the operation. Another playful scene displayed her with a post-surgery drainage bottle, which she humorously compared to a “goji berry smoothie.”
Throughout her message, Jessie emphasized her gratitude to the medical staff and offered encouragement to others facing challenges:
“Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!”
Messages of support quickly poured in. TV presenter Gaby Roslin commented, “Sending you strength, energy and so much love, you beautiful soul.” Singer Marvin Humes added, “I know Sky will be keeping you smiling and giving you strength… You’re an absolute warrior.”
When announcing her diagnosis, Jessie explained she chose to go public to help process the experience and to stand in solidarity with others navigating similar struggles.
