Overview

  • She said her hair has been “falling out like crazy” and that she remains very sore five weeks after her June mastectomy.
  • Jessie J reported axillary cording, a post-lymph-node-removal condition that causes arm pain and tightness.
  • She confirmed uneven breast reconstruction and outlined plans for a corrective symmetry surgery later this year.
  • After an August readmission for chest symptoms, doctors ruled out a blood clot, treated an infection and a small fluid buildup on her lungs, then discharged her for outpatient recovery.
  • The singer is limiting promotional activities for upcoming music to balance her recuperation with caring for her toddler son.
