Pop Star, 37, Gives Heartbreaking Interview After Cancer Diagnosis<\/a> originally appeared on Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pop music artist Jessie J has given a heartbreaking interview weeks after undergoing surgery for breast cancer. While chatting with The Sunday Times<\/a>, the Price Tag singer gave an inside look at how she’s been coping with the diagnosis and the aftermath.<\/p>\n

“The other night, mum was massaging my boob for me, because I can\u2019t touch the scars. And I started sobbing, ‘I can\u2019t believe this has happened.’ She was like, \u2018I wish it was me,\u2019 and then I\u2019m crying, she\u2019s crying \u2026 I’m so glad it\u2019s not her,” she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

After finding a cancerous tumor in her breast, Jessie J, 37, underwent a mastectomy. She was relieved to hear that she had clean margins \u2014 that is, the surrounding tissue taken during the surgery was free of cancer cells. However, Jessie J is remaining cautiously optimistic at this time.<\/p>\n

“People think, once you\u2019ve got the all-clear, now it\u2019s done,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I\u2019ve got another surgery and I need to heal, so I have to figure out the rest of this year,” she said, adding that “there\u2019s a one in two chance” that her cancer will return sometime in the future.<\/p>\n

Jessie J initially revealed her diagnosis on social media.<\/p>\n

“Before \u2018No Secrets\u2019 came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I\u2019m highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form, but I\u2019m holding on to the word \u2018early,'” she said in a candid Instagram post<\/a> on June 3.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Jessie J was hospitalized due to symptoms of a blood clot. Thankfully, doctors didn’t find anything super concerning. The singer chose to leave the hospital after doctors gave her medication to treat an infection. She’s been recovering at home while she awaits her next surgery, which will help re-shape her breast following her mastectomy.<\/p>\n
