British singer Jessie J has revealed that she had recently been diagnosed with “early breast cancer.”
The musician (born Jessica Cornish) shared the health update on social media on Tuesday (June 3) and told her supporters that the diagnosis came shortly before the release of the recent single “No Secrets” in April. “I highlight the word” early, “she explained.” Cancer sucks in every form, but I hold on to the word “early.”
As she continued, she revealed that she has been “in and out of testing” in time since, but has decided to share her story with the world in an attempt to be more open about her journey and also give herself a chance to treat reality in her situation.
“I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people who gave me their love and support, and also their own stories,” she explained. “I’m an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much – similar and worse.”
“I get to keep my nipples, that’s good,” she continued. “It’s a strange topic and a strange situation. And I know the press will say crazy things, but you know what to get the diagnosis of this when I put a song called ‘No Secrets’ just before a song called’ Living My Best Life ‘, which was all planned before I found out, I mean you can’t make it up.’
In fact, Jessie JS news comes shortly after the release of her single “Living My Best Life”, which arrived on May 16. In the caption for her Instagram post, singer Levity added to her situation, wrote “No (more) secrets and is it too early to make a remix called ‘Living my breast life’?”
By closing her video to fans, Jessie J explained that she “disappears a little” to undergo an operation after her performance at Summertime Ball in England on June 15.
Jessie J’s decision to be open and honest with her health journey is in line with her comments from July, revealing a recent diagnosis of obsessive forced behavior (OCD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD).
“It has authorized me, and honestly has sometimes overwhelmed me at the same time,” she explained, noting that the information had made her think of her life in a whole new way. “If there is one thing that social media has given me, it’s the chance to relate, connect and heal with strangers who have friendly hearts and go through a similar thing.
“I’ve always been honest on the journey I go through in life.”
