Jessie J heartbreakingly reveals what she misses most amid mastectomy recovery and shares how she’s getting through the ‘hard days’ of her ‘rollercoaster’ battle with breast cancer

BBG News

Jessie J has admitted that she’s been devastated because she can’t get her two-year-old son, Sky, due to not being permitted to do so while she recovers from a mastectomy.

37-year-old singer announced recently that her breast cancer diagnosis from June did not result in any cancer spread after undergoing surgery a month ago, and reassured her followers about her health status.

In a touching Instagram post, Jessie, co-parent with partner Chanan Safir Colman, expressed that she was feeling overwhelmed by her feelings.

However, she found solace in the thought that someday she could pick up her son for a hug, which eased her through the challenging periods of her ongoing struggle against the illness – a struggle she likened to a rollercoaster ride.

Aside from nostalgic photos of herself and Sky in the recording studio, Jessie wrote: ‘Four weeks from now on Saturday will mark the date of my breast cancer surgery. Overall, I’m doing well. There are certain days that are more challenging than others.’

‘I’m recovering well, though I’m still feeling quite tender. Each day, I seem to be returning more to my usual self. Mentally, things are tough and I’m giving myself some room to process everything. It’s definitely been an emotional ride.’

She added: ‘Sky is off with his father to visit family in Denmark for two weeks, giving me a chance to rest, do physical therapy, and even tidy up the entire house with my mother and sister. (My body needs the help, haha.) My ADHD and OCD remain active.’

For several months, I can’t take Sky into my arms, which has been challenging for me. I yearn to hold him close and twirl us around. However, in the grand scheme of things, it’s a minor compromise – one that ensures my wellbeing and allows me to continue being here.

Anticipating: One day, I’ll be able to give him a hug. I’m eagerly looking forward to that moment. That moment is what keeps me going during these days. These days are peculiar, but I cherish being your Mum Sky. I long for the times with my boys again.

After hearing news that Jessie is intending to make her return to television through a unique guest spot on Strictly Come Dancing in September, following her mastectomy.

As reported by The Sun, BBC executives are confident that she will start the upcoming series flawlessly since they’re eagerly anticipating her comeback.

According to the source, Jessie prioritizes her well-being and healing process, yet she’s eagerly anticipating returning to the stage once again.

She’s scheduled to return to television on Strictly Come Dancing in September, and producers are thrilled at the prospect of having her join the program.

‘Right now she’s feeling very grateful for life and all the opportunities coming her way.’

TopMob has contacted Strictly and Jessie J’s representatives for comment.

Apart from her upcoming performance on Strictly, it’s also been confirmed that Jessie will take the stage at Radio 2 In The Park, which takes place in Chelmsford during September.

Earlier this month, Jessie shared an adorable clip of her son the night before the operation.

In a heartwarming scene, we hear Jesse gently coaching her son to say “Mom will be alright” as she prepares for the operation to have her breast removed.

In the caption, she wrote: ‘And, I’m alright. Outcome: No cancer has spread. Real tears of joy indeed’, accompanied by numerous weeping emoji symbols.

The artist behind “Price Tag” expressed gratitude by saying: ‘I appreciate your prayers, affection, well-wishes, happiness, and all the positive vibes.’

The video I’m sharing was taken the evening prior to my operation. We affectionately named it ‘baby boy.’ You are my greatest source of hope, and with you around, I know that darkness cannot prevail.

There is still much recovery ahead and another operation needed to enhance their resemblance, but for the moment, it’s a time for thankfulness. I plan on altering my name to ‘The LopJess Creature’.

After Jessie shared that she regretted not saying goodbye to her breast before having a mastectomy, I suggested that she could write a heartfelt letter or spend some quiet time reflecting on the memories associated with it. This could provide closure and help her cope with the emotional aspect of the loss.

Last month, she mentioned that she has been feeling a delayed sense of sadness and expressed disappointment at not getting the chance to bid farewell.

On her Instagram Stories, she frankly disclosed her emotions to her followers by posting an honest update.

When initially informed about the diagnosis, the artist acknowledged slipping into a “survival mentality.” Now, she allows herself to feel both anger and sadness.

In her latest update, Jessie shared that it’s been two weeks since her surgery. She mentioned that the drain was removed two nights ago. The doctor instructed her to inhale deeply and then exhale forcefully. Surprisingly quick, the drain was taken out. It was a strange sensation, but she’s delighted to be without it after 12 days.

Currently, I’m navigating the challenge of finding appropriate outfits with my slightly asymmetrical breasts until I can balance their appearance. One seems to be questioning my well-being with a concerned gaze, as if saying, “Everything alright, love?

She continued: ‘Also my experience was when I was diagnosed I went into survival mode. 

Amidst numerous appointments, personal turmoil due to having a toddler and recently relocating, along with the impending launch of a campaign after an 8-year hiatus, I found myself in a whirlwind of activity. It’s overwhelming!

Due to not having enough time to fully understand the situation as it unfolded, I’m only now feeling a delay in my sadness and frustration about the current state of things.

In a somewhat melancholic tone, Jessie expressed, “I find myself feeling a bit let down for not properly bidding farewell to my old house. It might seem odd, but that’s where my feelings lie right now. As always, this is just my personal experience. I’m sure others may have different emotions about it.

From my heart, I admit that prior to the surgery, my thoughts were solely focused on getting through it. I displayed immense strength, but now, I’ve reached a point where I allow myself to feel the anger and sadness that has been bottled up within me. It’s just for a brief moment, these intense emotions, to help me heal more completely.

‘Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t-shirts and crack tf on’.
