Jessie J's Shocking Health Scare: Singer Rushed Back to Hospital with Fluid on Lungs

Singer Jessie J has been rushed back to hospital just six weeks after undergoing surgery for breast cancer, leaving fans stunned and worried about her health. The 37-year-old pop star took to Instagram Stories to share a candid update about her condition, revealing that she's been readmitted to the same ward where she underwent surgery in June.

The Singer's Relatable Struggle

The singer has been recovering following the operation in June, after revealing the cancer had luckily been caught by doctors 'early'

Jessie J admitted that recovering from surgery has been "the most mentally challenging time" for her. The singer shared a photo of herself hooked up to an IV canula, saying: "How I spent the last 24 hours...6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned."

The Devastating Diagnosis

In June, Jessie J revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, which she described as a "cancerous cell" that developed in her breast tissue. The singer underwent surgery to remove the tumor and has since been recovering at home.

But taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, Jessie revealed that she had been readmitted to hospital, and has since been told she has an infection

However, the latest update from Jessie suggests that things may not be going as smoothly as hoped. She shared: "I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung...IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD."

The Infection Nightmare

After running a series of tests, doctors discovered that Jessie J has an infection and fluid on her lungs. The singer revealed that she was discharged from hospital last night but will continue to receive treatment as an outpatient.

Sharing a photo from her hospital bed, Jessie shared a snap of an IV canula in her hand, and admitted she's found the recovery from her surgery the 'most mentally challenging time'

Jessie's candid update about her health has sent shockwaves through the music industry, with fans expressing their concern for her well-being on social media.

Breast Cancer: A Growing Concern

According to statistics from breastcancernow.org (a leading charity that provides support and information to those affected by breast cancer), there are over 55,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in the UK each year. Globally, breast cancer affects more than two million women annually.

In her final post, Jessie told her followers that the health scare has been a stark reminder that she still needs to 'slow down' while she continues her recovery from surgery

The article on thescholarlynote.com highlights the importance of early detection and treatment for breast cancer. It notes that when caught early, surgical removal of a tumor can offer a good chance of cure. The charity's free helpline (0808 800 6000) provides vital support to those affected by breast cancer.

Jessie's Journey: From Diagnosis to Recovery

In an Instagram post earlier this month, Jessie J shared her experience with breast cancer, saying: "When I was diagnosed I went into survival mode. There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind...I didn't really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen."

Jessie previously admitted she went into 'survival mode' upon learning of her cancer diagnosis, but is now letting herself feel angry and sad in equal measure

The singer has been open about her struggles with delayed sadness and frustration since undergoing surgery. She admitted that she "didn't think beyond the surgery" and has now had to adjust her plans for this year, including her career.

A Stark Reminder: Jessie's Advice

Jessie J's latest health scare serves as a stark reminder to take care of one's physical and mental well-being. In an Instagram post, she shared: "I know many people who will have gone through this or similar may not agree with me on this or not, and that's OK."

"But for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery...The recovering physically is far from quick or easy, and mentally it's been the most challenging time for me."

Jessie's Words of Wisdom

In her latest post, Jessie J offered words of wisdom to those going through similar experiences: "A reminder to myself to slow down even though I feel like I'm at a [turtle] pace right now. This isn't a speedy recovery...As an ADHD Ariest fire breathing dragon T-Rex, I can do it myself, I'm always OK woman."

However, Jessie's latest update suggests that she may need to adjust her pace and focus on taking care of herself during this challenging time.

A Message from the Singer

Jessie J has been open about her struggles with breast cancer and recovery. She shared: "I know I can do it myself...but sometimes you just have to sit down, take a deep breath, and let others help."

The singer's message serves as a reminder that even the strongest among us need support during difficult times.

Stay Strong, Jessie!
