Jessie J shares heartbreaking cancer update following mastectomy

The 37-year-old Price Tag singer told her followers on Friday that her previous social media post had been "misunderstood" and "the cancer at present had unfortunately not all gone". Jessie also said she was awaiting test results and would be taking a hiatus from social media to focus on her recovery.

She penned: "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.

Jessie added: "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."

The star concluded: "Tapping off socials for a week. Healthy and needed a reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted or misread. My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee."

The confusion came after the songstress shared an Instagram update on Thursday, which read: "Pros: Cancer has all gone." She also revealed her mastectomy surgery had gone well.

Adding to her list of positives, she wrote: "I can watch Love Island with no guilt. I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever."

Jessie also noted that her partner, Chanan Safir Colman, and their son, Sky, have been very supportive.

She later said that while she'd written the words "cancer is gone", she ended the comment with a fingers-crossed emoji as "it's a hope, not a fact".

"I only had my surgery 4 days ago," she penned. "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."
