Jessie J regrets not saying ‘goodbye to her breast’ following mastectomy amid breast cancer diagnosis

Jessie J has revealed she wished she said goodbye to her breast before undergoing a mastectomy.

The singer, 37, had surgery two weeks ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer last month, but said in an update on Saturday that she is experiencing some ‘delayed sadness’ and felt ‘disappointed’ that she didn’t say goodbye.

Taking to her Instagram stories, she shared a candid post with fans, bravely opening up about her feelings.

The Price Tag hitmaker admitted that she went into ‘survival mode’ when she first found out about her diagnosis and is now letting herself be angry and sad. 

In her post, Jessie wrote: ‘2 weeks post surgery. Had my drain out 2 nights ago. She said breathe in and take a hard breathe out. She whipped that thang out so quick. Woii oii. Weirdest feeling. But so nice to have it out after 12 days.

‘Now it’s just me and my wonky boobs trying to figure out how to dress until I match them up. The left one is looking at me like “you ok babe?”‘

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

‘There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind esp with a toddler I had just moved and was about to start this campaign after 8 years away. Mad. 

‘I didn’t really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen. So I’m currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening. 

Jessie added: ‘A little disappointed in myself I didn’t say goodbye to my old boob enough. Sounds silly but that’s where I’m at. Again that’s my journey. I’m sure others feel different. 

‘But for me I didn’t think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong. Well now I’m here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. 

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

Jessie previously confirmed that she is not cancer free, a day after posting her hopes to be rid of the disease. 

The singer said last month that her previous post had been ‘misunderstood’ and while she was ‘praying’ for good news, the cancer at present had unfortunately not ‘all gone’.

Jessie went on to say that she was awaiting test results and would be taking a week’s break from social media in order to ‘focus on her recovery’. 

Speaking about the misunderstanding 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.

She went on: ‘A weird situation. 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’. 

Later Jessie said: ‘Tapping off socials for a week. 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’. 

The mix up came after she shared a health update on Instagram on Thursday which read: ‘Pros: Cancer has all gone.’

She added that her mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery had gone well as she quipped: ‘My nipple is where it used to be.’

Continuing her list of pros, Jessie wrote: ‘I can watch Love Island with no guilt. I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever.’ 

She added that her partner Chanan Safir Colman and their son Sky have been providing support as well as her mother.

‘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.’

Later Jessie confirmed that while she had written the ‘cancer is gone’ she included a fingers crossed emoji as ‘it’s a hope not a fact’. 

She added: ‘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 I want into the universe’.
