Jessie J Shares the ‘Honest Lows and Highs' After Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery
In one slide of Jessie J's recent 16-part photo dump on Instagram, the singer watched back a clip from her performance at Capital's Summertime Ball. On stage at Wembley Stadium in London, she told the audience, 'This show is my last show before I go and beat breast cancer.' Revisiting the moment from her hospital bed, she joked, 'Look a bit different, innit?' Jessie is recovering at home from surgery now, but wanted to share a glimpse into her battle with the diagnosis she revealed earlier this month. 'This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours,' she wrote in the post caption. 'I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through. Grateful to my doctor / surgeon and all the nurses who cared for me and all my family / friends who came to visit. I am home now, to rest and wait for my results. Chanan is in a nurse outfit. No no, he isn't, but funny to imagine. Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!'

In one, she cries at the thought of imagining hearing her son say he loves her and not being able to say it back. In another, she explains the tubing system that drains blood and fluid from her breasts to him. The post-surgery recovery period will allow Jessie to truly slow down and process the moment. When she revealed her diagnosis, she mentioned that she was 'not processing it because I'm working so hard.' In a separate post shared earlier this month, she looked back on a live performance before which she had undergone several breast biopsies in private. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories,' she said. 'I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse, that's the bit that kills me.'

Recovering from surgery isn't easy. Exercising in the water can help.
The thought of getting back to an exercise routine after surgery might make you wince. It can be a struggle to know where to begin, especially if your body isn't working the way it used to. The good news is that heading to your local pool or aquatic therapy can be a great alternative to land-based physical therapy and exercise. Research, including a 2024 study, says aquatic exercise can significantly help patients recover both mentally and physically after most surgeries.

Davina McCall, 57, shares major health update with fans just weeks after receiving all clear from brain tumour
has issued a major health update just months after having surgery on her brain - and receiving the all clear. The legendary TV presenter, 57, went live on Instagram on Thursday night with her hairdresser husband Michael Douglas - who lovingly styled her hair for their 'rave date night' in London. During the Instagram Live, Davina - who was diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour in November and underwent a six-hour operation - shared a huge update on her post-surgery journey. She explained to fans: 'I am feeling much, much, much better. I am nearly ready to drive, which is a big indicator of how I'm feeling.' Davina shared how she's waiting for an update from the doctors and DVLA before she can get in the driver's seat again. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The TV star was all smiles as Michael blow-dried her hair, with Davina giving him compliments throughout the video. The loved-up couple - who have been together since - were asked how long they've known each other for. 'We have known each other since 2000,' Davina said. Michael chipped in: 'I did Davina's hair for a hair commercial. She took my number,' as Davina added: 'Yeah I did.' Her husband continued: 'And we became friends.' She went on to say that they reconnected when she started to host Big Brother, with Michael often doing her hair for the show. Michael said they were heading to Ibiza this weekend on a romantic getaway, which the pair seemed excited for. Last month, discussing her recent health battle, Davina explained to Women's Health: 'When I got this brain tumour I said to [my partner] Michael, "If I make it, this will be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me."' She went on to say that they reconnected when she started to host Big Brother, with Michael often doing her hair for the show She continued: 'Because of the learnings, yes – and because of the places I've had to go to deal with it...I'm sort of going through a slightly mind-blowing phase of my life where I'm just asking questions about everything. 'I keep thinking: I've survived this thing, but I don't know how that happened or why it happened. 'The whole start back into life again after the operation was amazing – mega. And [in the midst of] that feeling of anxiety and institutionalisation – of your house being the only safe place, of forgetting how to function in a normal way – everything felt like a massive win.' Davina went on: 'I want to say a massive thank you to everybody that looked after me so well. A special heartfelt thank you from both of us to Kevin for being such an absolute legend.'
