Jessie J is setting the record straight after fans misunderstood her recent update about undergoing surgery for breast cancer. The 37-year-old singer shared a post earlier this week that many took as confirmation she was cancer-free. Now, she’s clarified: she’s still waiting on her post-op results.
“You misunderstood my post,” Jessie wrote in an Instagram Story. “I said ‘cancer has all gone’ as a positive affirmation, not a confirmed fact. I don’t have my results yet.”
The singer underwent surgery just six nights ago and emphasised that recovery is still ongoing. “I added the fingers-crossed emoji, hoping people would understand. I wasn’t being literal,” she explained. “The cancer journey isn’t that simple.”
Earlier, Jessie had shared a candid list of ‘pros and cons’ following her surgery. Under the pros, she included light-hearted and hopeful reflections like ‘cancer has all gone,’ ‘I can watch Love Island with no guilt,’ and ‘my mum lives with us.’ She also credited her partner, Chanan Colman, and their two-year-old son Sky for giving her comfort during this time.
In the cons section, Jessie opened up about the emotional and physical toll. She wrote about missing her usual role as a hands-on mom, the lingering fear of not knowing if the cancer is truly gone, and the discomfort of healing. “Sneezing is a myth.” she joked. “That hurts.”
Despite the confusion, Jessie is staying positive and transparent with her followers as she continues her recovery. “I pray the results will bring good news,” she wrote, reminding fans that healing especially from cancer is rarely a straight path.
