Jessie J, 37, suffers ‘hardest day yet’ amid her ‘rollercoaster’ battle with breast cancer as she breaks down in tears and struggles through panic attacks while ‘drowning in the negativity’ of her diagnosis

BBG News

On Saturday, Jessie J shared that she endured a particularly difficult day during her fight against breast cancer, as she became overwhelmed with tears and experienced anxiety attacks.

The 37-year-old vocalist, who shared her diagnosis in a heartfelt Instagram post a week ago, confessed that she’s been overwhelmed by the negativity surrounding her current predicament when she posted an update on her social media stories about her wellbeing.

On Sunday, she shared a detailed post saying that the previous day was particularly tough for her, being the most challenging one since her cancer diagnosis. She’s been dealing with an exceptionally busy three-month period, juggling work, toddler care, and managing life in general. As a result, her mental energy has taken quite a hit.

Jessie, a mother of two-year-old Sky shared with her partner Chanan Colman, expressed: “I’ve been having panic attacks, shedding tears, feeling immense fear, getting angry and overwhelmed. Do you know what has helped me?

I enjoyed eating an ear of corn on the cob. It seems quite challenging to feel panic or shed tears while doing so. I strongly suggest giving it a try for a pleasant mood change.

Tomorrow brings a fresh start. The emotional roller coaster of dealing with cancer is exhausting. I won’t only discuss the bright spots; humor will not always be my crutch. After all, genuine life is more than just laughter. Goodnight.

On their return to social media on Monday, the artist behind “The Price Tag” wrote: ‘In my opinion (IMO), it’s essential to recognize fear, anger, sadness, panic, and overwhelm, allowing them to surface and be expressed. Hiding these feelings won’t cause them to disappear in any difficult life situation.’

Yesterday, when I shared about the struggles I’m facing in my life, I tried to find humor in the situation as well. However, on that particular day out of the last ten weeks, I hit a breaking point and was overwhelmed by the negativity and despair common in a cancer journey. This emotional release was beneficial and necessary for me.

She continued: ‘I might shed tears, feel fear, experience panic, and endure all these emotions for a brief moment or an entire day. Afterward, I’ll either munch on a piece of corn, listen to music that uplifts me, have a laugh with a friend over FaceTime, or any other activity that helps me regain my composure. And then, I’ll be a mother and go to work, putting on a strong face and being who I usually feel 90% of the time.’

I’m robust, courageous, vibrant, and I find humor even in challenging situations – that’s just my style. However, I won’t dismiss the 10% of apprehension and melancholy that occasionally surfaces.

Weeks ago, when Jesse made what seemed like a subtle reference to her cancer diagnosis during a show in London, it was then that the event occurred.

However, the announcement carries a deeper emotional impact considering the recent reports about what Jesse shared with his audience during his performance at Union Chapel on May 20th.

As reported by The Mirror, the celebrity expressed to her audience during the event that she prioritized herself and aimed to enjoy herself.

‘Everyone has their unique challenges in life, and we each deal with them differently. Sometimes we share these struggles, and other times we keep them to ourselves.’

I’m thankful for my ability to express my experiences through music, allowing others to adapt these songs as personal soundtracks to navigate various life moments, whether they’re challenging or joyful.

In introducing her latest song titled “No Secrets,” the songwriter appeared to allude to her struggle with cancer as well.

‘This song for me, more so than ever right now, is getting me through my life,’ she said.

It came to light that Jessie had learned about her illness prior to the launch of her popular song “No Secrets,” which dropped on April 25th.

On June 15, following her performance at the Summertime Ball in London, it was mentioned that the mother of one has a scheduled surgery ahead.

In the video, Jessie expressed: “I’ve been debating a bit about whether to reveal it or not. I’d love to, but there’s a barrage of views from others…

Besides wanting to engage with my supporters and those who are invested in my journey, I am also someone who values transparency. Throughout my life, I have consistently shared my experiences openly.

Prior to the release of ‘No Secrets’, I had been diagnosed with an early stage of breast cancer. While cancer is never pleasant, I cling to the term ‘early’ as a glimmer of hope amidst the challenges.

I’ve been juggling a lot of tests during this time, and because I’ve been working so much, I haven’t been able to fully grasp what I’m learning.

Jessie expressed that she felt inclined to discuss the topic openly, for one reason being that she seldom talks about it herself. She mentioned that she’s been so engrossed in her work that she hasn’t had time to fully process what she wants to share.

She mentioned, ‘Additionally, I’ve learned that sharing experiences in the past has been beneficial for me. People have shown me kindness, shared their love, offered support, and even told their personal stories.’

The individual from London expressed: ‘I am as transparent as a book. It deeply saddens me to see so many individuals enduring hardships, some even more severe. This aspect of life is what truly hurts me.’

I simply needed to inform everyone that it wasn’t intended; fortunately, I’ll be able to retain my nipples. It’s an unusual subject matter and circumstance, I understand.”

This version maintains the original meaning while using more formal language and avoiding slang or colloquialisms.

Jessie pondered: “Discovering this news comes at an interesting time, as I release a song titled ‘No Secrets,’ followed closely by ‘Living My Best Life.’ These songs were already planned before I found out about this. Honestly, it feels too coincidental and unbelievable.

She quipped, “That’s quite the theatrical method for getting a breast augmentation,” mentioning that the cancer removal surgery was scheduled following her performance at the Summertime Ball in London’s Wembley Stadium on June 15.

Jessie informed her followers that she would temporarily go offline following the Summertime Ball for her surgery, promising to return with significantly larger breasts and additional music.

Maintaining the cheerful tone, she penned in the caption: “Carrying on without hidden matters, could I already create a remix titled ‘Living My Chest Story’?

Without a doubt, humor helps me cope during tough times. The past two months, however, have been truly exceptional! And to top it all off, experiencing this alongside it from the sidelines has granted me an extraordinary point of view.

‘BUT… your girl needs a hug. Also not getting massive t**s. Or am I? No no.. I must stop joking?’
