Jessie J returns to hospital due to infection weeks after breast cancer surgery
Jessie J went back to the hospital due to infection just weeks following her breast cancer surgery. She has returned at home to continue her recovery.
On Instagram Story on Aug. 2, the singer shared that she's back in the same ward six weeks afterward.
“How I spent the last 24 hours,” she said. “Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD.”
Jessie shared that she decided to continue her recovery at home after doctors were able to identify an infection.
“They ran a lot of tests which ended up showing I have an infection (still trying to figure out what) and a little fluid on my lungs,” she said. “Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in hospital) and will continue the investigation as an outpatient.”
In more Instagram Story entries on Aug. 4, Jessie gave more updates about her situation while she's lying in bed.
“I finally got a diagnosis of what's been going on. Lots of people have been asking. Apparently it's called… Dramatic? I think that's the spelling,” she said.
Kidding aside, she noted that her symptoms are the same and that she has no idea what's wrong yet.
"My sarcasm and sense of humor are holding on," she said. “I've just been trying to rest, but I thought it would be important to [share an update]."
“I think people think that I'm, like, hanging on by a thread, which in some moments has felt that way—like two or three days ago when I woke up, and I couldn't breathe. I still have pain in my chest when I breathe, but it's not as bad.”
Jessie first opened up about her breast cancer diagnosis in June. She has since shared with her followers the steps she's taking toward her recovery.
She is best known for her songs Price Tag, Domino, Do It Like a Dude, Flashlight, and Bang Bang, among others.
