Jessie J has landed back in the hospital just two months after she revealed her early breast cancer diagnosis.
“Six weeks post-surgery, and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned,” the Grammy nominee wrote on her Instagram Stories Sunday, alongside a photo of her arm plugged into IVs.
“I had, and still have, symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT, THANK GOD.”
After her doctors ran several tests, they suspected that she had “a little fluid” in her lungs and an unknown infection, the “Bang Bang” hitmaker continued.
“Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night. I hate being in [the] hospital,” Jessie shared, adding that she will “continue the investigation as an outpatient.”
“I know many people who will have gone through this or similar may agree with me or not, and that’s OK,” the “Domino” singer, 37, wrote in a follow-up post, defending her decision to leave the hospital.
“I know, for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery. The recovery, physically, is far from quick or easy.”
Throughout the ordeal, she claimed the “most challenging time” for her to deal with the ongoing health scare while also being a mom to her 2-year-old son, Sky, and “being unable to be the mother I usually am.”
“And having to change the plans for my career for this year has been frustrating after working so hard to get to this point and excited to do it all. It’s life, I know that,” she shared.
Still, she said receiving her “all clear” diagnosis was “incredible.”
“But that result didn’t speed up or make the recovery from the surgery any easier physically,” she added, noting that she needed to remind herself to “slow tf down” so she could heal.
“This isn’t a speedy recovery, and it isn’t meant to be,” she said. “That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept. I love moving and working and being up and active, but I can’t be right now, and that’s what it is. I am finding the strength in knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner support circle.”
The “Price Tag” singer disclosed to her followers that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in June.
“Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early,’” she said in an emotional video shared on her social media, before adding that she would soon be having surgery.
“It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I will come back with massive tits and more music,” she joked.
After her June 23 surgery, she announced the procedure was successful and all of the cancerous spots had been removed.
