Singer Jessie J has shared a health update on social media after undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis and has said she is ‘positive and grateful’
Jessie J has provided her fans with an update on her health almost two weeks after having a mastectomy. The Price Tag singer, 37, underwent surgery 11 days ago after she had announced that she had been diagnosed with “early breast cancer”.
She has been open and honest with her fans about her own experiences and regularly takes to Instagram to share her journey. And in her latest update, the songstress has revealed she was “feeling a little out of it” during her recovery, but insists she is “positive and grateful”.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Jessie uploaded a photo alongside her two-year-old son, Sky. She wrote: “For those asking for a health update. l am 11 days post surgery. I’m good.
“Missing being an active Mum / human the most. But it’s been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad. It’s still uncomfortable / a little painful but l can handle that. I’m doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean.”
She went on: “I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don’t overdo it.
“I have now done a [poo emoji]. Still have my drain. Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys.
“I carry mine on the floor when l’m home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it’s out by the end of the week. I am feeling positive and grateful.”
Shortly after, she took to the platform again to add: “If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctors appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I am seem a little out of it. I am.
“It’s not personal. I don’t have what l usually have to give energy wise, understandably. I will get there. It’s a slow road. For now l am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive.”
Jessie’s surgery came weeks after she had performed at the Summertime Ball. During her performance she told the 80,000 strong audience that this would be the last performance before her surgery.
She explained: “Today, this show is my last show before I go to beat breast cancer! So it’s so special to me you have no idea. I feel so special to be from the UK, to be an honest person and say how you feel.
“This is my last show before go treatment and all the things It’s the most special thing and I’m so grateful for this life, for you guys, for my career, to my, my son. My partner, my parents. My family, my band, my crew.”
She added: “We are so lucky, we have so much to live for, so much joy, so much, so many things to do.”
