continues to carry fans along every step of the way of her breast cancer journey.
The British singer, who revealed her cancer diagnosis earlier this month, left the spotlight to undergo surgery. Now, she is being honest with fans about the downsides of the procedure.
In an Instagram post, Jessie gave fans an update following a successful surgery. She revealed that it came 48 hours after she went under the knife.
"[red exclamation point emoji] Blood warning [red exclamation point emoji] This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours," the singer began in the caption. "I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through."
True to her words, Jessie posted 16 slides that detailed every phase of her surgery. The upload began with an image of the singer, fresh-faced from surgery, lying on the hospital bed. Her right breast was evidently plastered up.
Included in the carousel was a snap of the surgeon's markings on the "Price Tag" singer's chest area as well as a video of her singing before heading to the theater. "I've now been at the hospital for six and a half hours and I'm still waiting to go down to the theatre," she belted.
Luckily, Jessie wasn't alone for the challenging procedure. Her partner, Chanan Colman, was pictured in the hospital with her. In one emotional clip, the couple passionately kissed while holding hands as they fought back tears.
The following slide showed the "Nobody's Perfect" singer crying out for her son, Sky, following the procedure. "I was imagining Sky saying 'I love you, mommy,' and I was saying 'I love you back,'" Jessie told her baby daddy, who was filming.
The two-year-old's reunion with his famous mother was detailed in the tear-jerking Instagram post. A cute photo captured the toddler laughing next to his mother on the hospital bed.
Sky wasted no time causing trouble as he was caught playing with his mother's medical equipment before she cautioned him.
The update not only detailed the emotional parts of the surgery but also the real medical side. In one video, Jessie explained to fans that a drip was inserted into her breast.
She then turned the camera to show a container filled with a small amount of blood, which she jokingly referred to as a "goji berry smoothie." In a later update, the container was already halfway filled with blood as Jessie lamented, "Look at that. That is insane. Oh my God."
The 37-year-old also kept it raw with her toddler, as she explained to him how the container receives bodily fluid from her breast.
Alongside the heartfelt post, Jessie expressed deep gratitude for the medical team that took care of her and her loved ones who visited. She then informed fans of her current health status, writing:
"I am home now, to rest and wait for my results [fingers crossed emoji]. Chanan is in a nurse outfit. No no, he isn't, but funny to imagine."
Concluding the caption, she encouraged those facing similar struggles. "Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this," she wrote.
Fans soon bombarded the post with encouraging words for their beloved singer as she recovers. "Ah Jess wow...these posts. I know Sky will be keeping you smiling and giving you strength... big love... you're an absolute warrior. x," one fan wrote.
The positive health update from Jessie comes days after she performed at the Capital's Summertime Ball. It was her last performance before going away for surgery.
While on stage, the British singer spoke about how special the concert felt to her. "Today, this show, is my last show before I go and beat breast cancer. So, it's so special to me. You have no idea," she emotionally revealed.
The "Nobody's Perfect" artist publicly appreciated her partner, son, and family before expressing hope for her cancer battle.
"We are so lucky. We have so much to live for. So much joy; so many things to do," she declared.
