Successful completion of breast cancer surgery documented by Jessie J
English singer Jessie J has provided an update on her breast cancer recovery, following a mastectomy surgery she underwent in late June 2025. The surgery came after an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis in April of the same year.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Jessie expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of support from her fans and loved ones. She wrote, "My biggest ray of light, my son, has been by my side every step of the way, reminding me that I will be okay."
The singer struggled with the decision to make her illness public, but ultimately chose to do so in June, sharing a video message with her fans. In the video, she spoke candidly about her diagnosis and the emotional journey that followed.
Jessie's lead single "No Secrets," released in April, was not specified as being for an album about her cancer experience. However, it is clear that the song carries a deep personal significance for the singer.
Before her operation, Jessie's young son offered words of comfort, saying, "Mom will be okay." This moment of strength and resilience from her child served as a source of inspiration for the singer during her difficult time.
Jessie's recovery is ongoing, with some discomfort and pain still present. She has opted to manage this without relying on pain medication, instead focusing on understanding her body's limits and following a regimen of recovery exercises and clean eating.
The singer has been taking this slower recovery period as an opportunity to rest and recharge, appreciating the support from her family. She misses being an active mother to her 2-year-old son but remains optimistic about her recovery.
Jessie's final performance before starting treatment was at Wembley Stadium on June 16, 2025, where she announced it would be her last show before beating breast cancer. The singer continues to stay positive, emphasizing the importance of early detection in cancer care.
