Jessie J to undergo more surgery as she's forced to rearrange tour

Jessie J has revealed she requires more surgery after her cancer diagnosis. Earlier this year, the pop superstar revealed she had been diagnosed with early breast cancer and underwent surgery after discovering a 4 - 5cm lump. and was putting a pause on her career while she recovered.

Speaking previously, she said that the cruel disease had "robbed her of memories" with her young son. Jessie said: "I found a lump, I went and got checked, they said, 'We can see and feel the lump, but on the ultrasound it looks fine,' so because I have youngish breast tissue, it looked healthy."

Her symptoms included a heavy arm, as well as pins and needles. Her appointment for a biopsy, just one day after her birthday, confirmed that she had high-grade cancer cells, causing her to burst into tears. She later underwent a mastectomy to remove her affected breast, rather than having radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

The news of Jessie's second surgery comes after she opened up about how her diagnosis affected her, not just personally, but also her relationship with those around her. During an appearance on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast, the hitmaker said: "Yesterday I sobbed. I feel like I can't be a mum to my son, and I miss him

"I feel like cancer has robbed me of memories with my boy." 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." Despite the fear, she remained focused on her music. "I was so busy with work after the diagnosis, I don't think I processed things properly,"she said, remembering her final pre-surgery performance at Capital FM's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard. "That euphoria and energy… when I was put to sleep, I replayed that moment in my head.”

The support from fans that day stuck with her. "I wish everyone who has ever been diagnosed with anything scary could experience what I did. The whole crowd erupted… It was like a giant hug." After surgery, Jessie was overcome with emotion when she saw her partner, Chanan Safir Colman. "I was so happy to be alive," she said, breaking down in tears.

She later shared how her mother supported her through recovery: "Mum was massaging my boob for me, because I can't touch the scars. I started sobbing, 'I can't believe this has happened.' She was like, 'I wish it was me,' and then I'm crying, she's crying."
