I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... The cancer has all gone. This was a positive affirmation, NOT a fact. "I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers-crossed] emoji in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't. A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately. (sic)".

JESSIE J has given fans a health update after her breast cancer surgery, revealing why she's stopped taking pain medication. Singer Jessie, 37, took to her Instagram Story today, sharing how she's feeling 11 days after the operation. 7 She wrote: 'For those asking for a health update. I am 11 days post surgery. I'm good. Missing being an active Mum / human the most. "But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.' She admitted the process hasn't been pain-free, adding, 'It's still uncomfortable / a little painful but I can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean. In a surprising move, the Price Tag hitmaker revealed she's stopped taking all painkillers. Jessie - who became a mum last year to son Sky with basketball player Chanan Colman - continued: 'I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don't overdo it. I have now done a [poo emoji]." "Still have my drain. Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys?' 'I carry mine on the floor when I'm home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it's out by the end of the week. Despite the obvious challenges of recovery, Jessie said she's trying to stay in a grateful mindset, saying: 'I am feeling positive and grateful.' She also had a message for anyone who might bump into her out and about. Jessie said: 'If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctor's appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I seem a little out of it. I am. It's not personal. 'I don't have what I usually have to give energy wise, understandably. I will get there. It's a slow road. For now I am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive. Lots of love.' Last week, Jessie revealed she doesn't yet know if she's cancer free after her mastectomy. The musician had the operation earlier this week in a bid to beat her breast cancer, and some fans misinterpreted a post that stated: "Cancer has all gone." Jessie said her words had been "misunderstood" and that her statement was a "positive affirmation". She wrote: "I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone'. 7 "This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't. "A weird situation," she continued. "My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately." Jessie is now taking a break from social media as she continues her recovery. "Tapping off socials for a week," she said. "Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread. "My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee." After her operation, Jessie admitted she was struggling not being able to pick up her two-year-old son, Sky. She then outlined the 'pros' of the procedure, writing: "Cancer is all gone. "My nipple is where it used to be, I can watch Love Island with no guilt. "I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever. "My mum lives with us. Sky just being Sky. Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10. "Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other." The list was then followed by a "cons" equivalent. "Not being the mum I'm used to being and picking Sky up," she typed. "The fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone - the mental with this is... "The pain and discomfort is ok and expected but a d******d when I'm trying to sleep." Jessie explained how the only painkillers she was allowed to take were paracetamol and ibuprofen due to having low blood pressure. She did try and clear up her post at the time, warning she hadn't meant for the statement to be read as "fact" and that she is still awaiting her results. The BRIT winner added: "I'm getting a lot of messages. Saying so happy all the cancer has gone. To be clear I added the [fingers crossed] emoji as it's a hope not a fact. "I only had my surgery 4 days ago. I was just saying the pros of surgery and this situation and being positive. But I will get my results soon. "And hopefully I can post that as a fact. But for now I don't know. But I will stay positive and talk what l want into the universe." Earlier this month, Jessie revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Incredibly, she went ahead and performed at this year's Capital Summertime Ball in London on June 15. Jessie held back tears as she told the crowd at Wembley Stadium that she was taking a break to "beat breast cancer". 7 7 7

The breast checks everyone needs to do, as Jessie J says cancer 'has all gone'
Jessie J says she is cancer free following surgery. The 37-year-old singer shared the news on Instagram this afternoon, saying her "cancer has all gone". Jessie, who revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this month, shared her pros and cons following surgery on the social media platform. Giving fans a health update, she listed the positives, writing, "Cancer has all gone" alongside a fingers crossed emoji. She also stated "my nipple is where it used to be, I can watch Love Island with no guilt, I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever, my mum lives with us…" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessie J (@jessiej) The former The Voice UK judge shared that she was grateful for her partner, Chanan Colman, making her feel safe, her two-year-old son Sky "just being Sky" and connecting with others going through something similar things and the support they could offer each other. Saying some of her cons were "very honest" and some were "silly", she listed downsides including, "Not being able to be the mum I used to be and picking up Sky", the fear of not knowing if the cancer was really all gone and also "not pooing from the anaesthetic and painkillers". Since surgery Jessie said she has been on ibuprofen and paracetamol because her blood pressure is too low to take stronger painkillers. She added that although the pain and discomfort is "ok and expected" it is "a d******d when I'm trying to sleep". Earlier this week, Jessie gave fans an insight into her surgery saying she will "always show the good and hard bits of any journey" she goes through. In an Instagram post, she said she was at home, resting and awaiting results. The Bang Bang singer thanked her medical team and virtually hugged all of her followers "going through something tough right now". Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, most notably among women. Men can also develop this form of cancer so it's important for everyone to know how to check for it. Sally Kum, associate director of nursing and health information at Breast Cancer Now, said Jessie J's diagnosis emphasised the importance of early detection. "We know that receiving a breast cancer diagnosis can be devastating – and every 10 minutes someone in the UK hears this life-changing news," she said in a statement. "While breast cancer is less common in younger women, around 10,000 women aged under 50 are diagnosed each year in the UK. "We know firsthand from women we speak to that being diagnosed with breast cancer as a younger woman can feel incredibly isolating. "By sharing her own experience, Jessie is shining a spotlight on the reality of being diagnosed with breast cancer as a younger woman and on the importance of early detection of the disease whatever your age." She continued: "It's crucial that women are empowered to know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and the importance of regular breast checking – which is as simple as TLC (touch, look and check) – as the sooner breast cancer is diagnosed, the greater the chance of treatment being successful." Here's everything you need to know about checking your breasts. Whatever your age, it's important to take time to get to know your breasts and what's normal for you. Everyone's breasts are different, and they can change with age and at different times of the month. It's important to get to know how your breasts normally look and feel so it will be easier to spot if there are any unusual changes for you. The two most important questions you should ask yourself while checking are: Can you feel anything new or unusual? Does anything look different to you? Everyone will have their own way of touching and looking for changes, according to Breast Cancer Now. It's crucial to get used to checking regularly and be aware of anything that's new or different for you. When checking your breasts, you must check your whole breast area, including up to your collarbone (upper chest) and armpits. A lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit A change to the skin, including puckering or dimpling A change in the colour of the breast – the breast may look darker, red or inflamed A nipple change, for example it has become pulled in (inverted) Rash or crusting around the nipple Unusual liquid, also called discharge, from either nipple Changes in size or shape of the breast It doesn't matter when you check your breasts, as long as you check them regularly. The NHS recommends checking them around once a month, but there is no harm in checking them more often than that. According to Breast Cancer Now, the biggest barrier to women not checking their breasts regularly is forgetting to do so. Other reasons include not being in the habit of checking, not having the confidence to check them, and not knowing how to perform self examination. Manveet Basra, associate director of public health, inclusion and awareness, at Breast Cancer Now, recommended that women make checking their breasts "part of their self-care routine while getting dressed, showering or applying moisturiser". "Checking your breasts only takes a few minutes and there's no right way to check, as long as you do it regularly." YouGov research conducted by has found men to be educationally lacking when it comes to breast cancer. Results showed only 20% of men would see their GP immediately with common symptoms of breast cancer, whilst 78% of men believe there to be poor awareness of the disease. Although breast cancer in men isn't overly common, the NHS still says around 350 to 400 breast cancer cases occur in men each year, so it's important to encourage the men in your life to check their breasts too. If you notice a change in your breasts that isn't normal for you, you should see your GP. It may not be due to cancer, but if it is, the earlier it's picked up, the better your chances of having successful treatment. Basra said: "The sooner breast cancer is diagnosed, the greater the chance of treatment being successful, and lives potentially being saved from breast cancer. "This is why we want every woman to know how vital breast checking is and to feel empowered to regularly check their breasts, so that it's easier to spot any new or unusual change and get them checked with a GP, along with attending breast screening appointments when invited."
