Jessie J makes heartbreaking confession about darkest days of cancer diagnosis
Jessie J has shared an emotional update on her breast cancer journey, reflecting on the personal toll of her diagnosis and recovery following a full mastectomy in June.
Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, the 37-year-old singer revealed how the experience deeply affected her, especially her relationship with her young son, Sky.
“Yesterday I sobbed. I feel like I can’t be a mum to my son and I miss him,” she admitted. “I feel like cancer has robbed me of memories with my boy.” It comes after Jessie said that ‘life is too short’ as she revealed her new goals in life after her cancer diagnosis.
Jessie recorded the podcast in two parts, first in May, shortly after her diagnosis, and again post-surgery. She ultimately chose not to air the original recording, opting instead to speak from a place of reflection.
After being diagnosed early, Jessie underwent a mastectomy rather than radiotherapy or chemotherapy due to the size of the 4–5cm lump. However, the emotional weight of the experience was overwhelming. “I had moments where I thought, ‘this is going to go left and I’m going to die.”
She recalled the moment doctors delivered the news: “When they told me I just burst into tears. The doctors had said it was probably just a cyst so I wasn’t too worried.”
