JESSIE J revealed she doesn’t yet know if she’s cancer free after her mastectomy.
The 37-year-old singer had the operation earlier this week in a bid to beat her breast cancer, and some fans misinterpreted a post that stated: “Cancer has all gone”;.
Jessie said her previous post had been “misunderstood”; and that her statement was a “positive affirmation”;.
She wrote: “I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone’.
“This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don’t have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn’t.
“A weird situation,”; she continued. “My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn’t that simple unfortunately.”;
Jessie is now taking a break from social media as she continues her recovery.
“Tapping off socials for a week,”; she said. “Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread.
“My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee.”;
After her operation, Jessie admitted she was struggling not being able to pick up her two-year-old son, Sky.
She then outlined the ‘pros’ of the procedure, writing: “Cancer is all gone.
“My nipple is where it used to be, I can watch with no guilt.
“I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever.
“My mum lives with us. Sky just being Sky. Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10.
“Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other.”;
The list was then followed by a “cons”; equivalent.
“Not being the mum I’m used to being and picking Sky up,”; she typed.
“The fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone – the mental with this is...
“The pain and discomfort is ok and expected but a d******d when I’m trying to sleep.”;
Jessie explained how the only painkillers she was allowed to take were paracetamol and ibuprofen due to having low blood pressure.
She did try and clear up her post at the time, warning she hadn’t meant for the statement to be read as “fact”; and that she is still awaiting her results.
The BRIT winner added: “I’m getting a lot of messages. Saying so happy all the cancer has gone. To be clear I added the [fingers crossed] emoji as it’s a hope not a fact.
“I only had my surgery 4 days ago. I was just saying the pros of surgery and this situation and being positive. But I will get my results soon.
“And hopefully I can post that as a fact. But for now I don’t know. But I will stay positive and talk what l want into the universe.”;
