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 artist, originally from Essex, had initially disclosed her diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer in early June. She received an overwhelming amount of support from both fellow musicians and fans. At that time, she stated that she was going to have surgery after performing 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.”
In her communication, Jessie consistently expressed her appreciation toward the healthcare team and provided support to those dealing with difficulties.
“Sending warm embraces to everyone facing challenges at this time. We’ve 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.”
Upon revealing her diagnosis, Jessie shared that she opted for a public disclosure to aid in managing the situation and to show support for others facing comparable challenges.
