There has been an outpouring of support for pop star Jessie J after she revealed she has been diagnosed with bre.ast cancer—just two years after giving birth to her first child
In an emotional video shared with fans, the 37-year-old said she was told the devastating news shortly before the release of her album No Secrets in April.
Fighting back tears, the Price Tag singer said: ‘Cancer sucks in any form. But I’m holding onto the word “early”.’
Jessie said she would undergo surgery after performing at the Capital Summertime Ball in London on June 15, and explained she was choosing to go public now because she’s ‘an open book’.
‘I just wanted to share it because I don’t talk about it enough,’ she said. ‘I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard.
‘It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much… similar and worse. That’s the bit that k!lls me.’
Fans and experts were quick to respond with messages of support — and reassurance. If caught early, breast cancer is often highly treatable. Medics urged others to stay alert to warning signs and seek help if anything seems unusual.
