English pop singer Jessie J has undergone surgery to treat breast cancer and is awaiting her results at home.
The 37-year-old Flashlight singer wrote on Instagram on June 24: “Blood warning. This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours. I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through.”
The sequence of photos she uploaded included selfies, as well as pictures of her boyfriend Chanan Colman, a Danish-Israeli professional basketball player, and their two-year-old son Sky. They are seen spending time together after her surgery.
In one of the videos she recorded pre-surgery, she sings: “Now I’ve been in the hospital for six and a half hours and I’m still waiting to go down to the theatre.”
In another clip, Sky is seen sharing her hospital bed. Mother and son share a close moment together as the Bang Bang singer watches him eat.
She also joked that the bottle of water and blood that was drained from her breasts post-surgery was like “goji berry smoothie”.
Referring to the bottle, she later said: “Look at that, that is insane,” as the volume within had increased.
The singer went public with her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis on June 4.
In her June 24 post, she expressed her gratitude to her doctor, surgeon, the nurses who attended to her, as well as her family and friends who had visited her.
