Jessie J admits 'I went into survival mode' in latest cancer update as she jokes 'I'm moving to Scotland'
The popstar said she is "currently experiencing some delayed sadness, anger and frustration" over her diagnosis Popstar Jessie J has admitted she " went into survival mode" after her cancer diagnosis in an emotional update shared with fans. The Price Tag singer announced last month that she had been diagnosed with "early" breast cancer. At the time, she was preparing to have surgery, and has since confirmed that the procedure went ahead. The 37-year-old, who has a young son called Sky, said she doesn't have her results but "prays" she will be cancer free soon. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, July 5, the singer shared another health update with her 14m followers. Two weeks post surgery, Jessie J said she is feeling "sad and frustrated" now that she has finally taken time to digest the news. "She wrote: "Had my drain out two nights ago. She said 'breathe in and take a hard breathe out'. "She whipped that thang out so quick. Woii oii. Weirdest feeling. But so nice to have it out after 12 days. "Now it's just me and my wonky boobs trying to figure out how to dress until I match them up. "The left one is looking at the right one like, 'you ok babe?' "When I got diagnosed I went into survival mode. There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind especially with a toddler. I had just moved and was about to start this campaign after eight years away. Mad. "I didn't really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen. "So I'm currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening." She went on: "A little disappointed in myself I didn't say goodbye to my old boob, though. Sounds silly but that's where I'm at... I'm sure other felt different. But for me I didn't think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong. "Now I'm here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. "Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out, order some t-shirts, and crack on." Lapsing back into her humorous ways after such an emotional confession, Jessie J joked that she was "changing her name to The LopJess Monster and moving to Scotland," adding "let's see if the press catch on to this one". The jibe comes after reports that Jessie had said that her "cancer is all gone" in an update on social media. Jessie later confirmed it was only a "positive affirmation" and highlighted that she used a finger crossed emoji. Addressing the update, which made headlines, she said: "You have misunderstood my post. I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was ... The cancer has all gone [fingers crossed emoji]." She clarified: "This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the emoji in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't." Jessie added: "A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer."
