British pop star Jessie J has shared a worrying health update with fans, revealing that she was rushed back to the hospital just six weeks after undergoing surgery related to her breast cancer treatment.
The Bang Bang hitmaker, 37, took to Instagram Stories to detail her latest health scare, revealing that she initially feared she had a blood clot in her lungs—a potentially life-threatening condition. Fortunately, that turned out not to be the case.
“I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD,” Jessie wrote.
Diagnosed with an Infection
Doctors discovered that the singer was instead dealing with an infection and a small amount of fluid in her lungs, making it hard for her to breathe. Despite the ongoing concerns, Jessie said she chose to discharge herself from the hospital, opting to continue treatment as an outpatient.
“Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in hospital) and will continue the investigation as an outpatient.”
“The Recovery Is Not Easy, Especially As a Mum”
In an emotional reflection, the singer opened up about the physical and mental toll of recovery—especially while juggling motherhood.
“Mentally, it’s been the most challenging time for me. Especially as a mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am.”
She also expressed frustration over having to pause her career plans after years of hard work, acknowledging that while getting the “all clear” from cancer was a blessing, recovery has been far from easy.
“Don’t get me wrong, getting the all clear was and is incredible. But that result didn’t speed up or make the recovery any easier physically.”
Slowing Down and Accepting Support
Known for her high energy and fierce stage presence, Jessie admitted that slowing down has been difficult, but necessary.
“This isn’t a speedy recovery. And it isn’t meant to be. As an ADHD Aries fire-breathing dragon T-Rex, I can do it myself… But I can’t be right now, and that’s what it is.”
She closed her message by thanking her small inner circle for standing by her and acknowledged that her body is demanding rest and healing.
“My body and immune system said, ‘Sit down di**head.’”
Fans Send Love and Support
Following her post, fans have flooded social media with messages of love, support, and encouragement, praising Jessie J for her honesty, resilience, and vulnerability.
