Jessie J has opened up to her followers about a difficult and unexpected health setback. Just six weeks after having surgery for breast cancer, she had to be rushed back to the hospital because of an infection. Back in April, the 37-year-old singer shared the heartbreaking news that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage. To treat it, she made the brave decision to undergo a mastectomy, where the affected breast tissue is removed, and then had breast reconstruction surgery to begin the healing process.
At the time, she was honest and strong about her journey, explaining that early detection gave her the best shot at beating the disease. But now, she has revealed that she suddenly started feeling very sick again, without any warning signs, and things quickly got serious enough that she had to be admitted back to the hospital. What made the whole situation even more emotional for her was that she ended up in the same hospital ward where she had recovered from her breast surgery just a few weeks earlier. Being back in that familiar space brought back a flood of memories and emotions.
Though she didn’t share too many specific details about the infection, Jessie made it clear that the experience was both physically draining and mentally overwhelming. She wanted her fans to know that healing isn’t always a straight path, and sometimes your body throws you into situations you can’t prepare for. She’s continuing to recover and promised to keep her supporters updated, but her message served as a reminder of how unpredictable and challenging the journey after cancer treatment can be.
Jessie J has given an update on her health
Jessie J took to Instagram to give her fans a glimpse into what she’s been going through recently. She posted a photo showing a cannula in her arm, giving a raw and honest look at how her last 24 hours had gone. In her message, she shared that she had landed back in the hospital, in the very same ward where she had recovered from surgery just six weeks earlier. She described the experience as something she didn’t see coming and definitely hadn’t planned for.
She explained that she started feeling some troubling symptoms that made doctors concerned about the possibility of a blood clot in her lungs. Thankfully, after many tests, it turned out not to be a blood clot, which brought her a huge sense of relief. But the tests did show something else. Doctors found she had an infection, though they are still trying to figure out exactly what kind it is. Along with that, they also discovered a small amount of fluid in her lungs, which could be part of why she’s been feeling so unwell.
Even though the news wasn’t easy to hear, Jessie remained calm and open about the situation. She made it clear that she’s still in the process of healing, and like many others recovering from serious illness, unexpected setbacks can happen. Sharing her experience with such honesty gave her fans a better understanding of the ups and downs she’s facing in her recovery journey.
