Jessie J Says Cancer Has 'Robbed' Her of Time With Her Son in New Podcast Interview

A new interview details her diagnosis, a June mastectomy, plus plans for another procedure this year.

Overview

  • On the Great Company podcast released Aug. 19, the 37-year-old said she misses two-year-old Sky and feels cancer has stolen memories from their time together.
  • She recalled being told a lump was likely a cyst before tests showed roughly 4–5 cm of cancer, a period when she feared she could die.
  • After early detection, she underwent a full mastectomy in June and drew strength from her final pre-surgery set at Capital’s Summertime Ball.
  • Earlier this month she returned to hospital with trouble breathing; doctors treated a small fluid buildup and an infection before discharging her for outpatient follow-up.
  • She says another surgery is planned later this year, as she limits promotion, continues recovery and prepares new music.
