Pop singer Jessie J, aged 37, was recently hospitalized due to an infection that developed six weeks after her breast cancer surgery. The British star, who publicly revealed her diagnosis in June, has been candid about her health journey and recovery progress.

However, upon further examination, it was discovered that she had an infection and some fluid in her lung instead. Despite the breathing difficulties she faced during her hospital stay, Jessie J chose to discharge herself.
The singer has been updating her fans on her recovery, sharing both the physical and emotional highs and lows she has experienced. In a heartfelt Instagram post in mid-July, she shared a collage of black and white photos of herself and her two-year-old son Sky in the studio, expressing her gratitude towards her medical team and support network. In the post, she also mentioned that some days are harder than others after her breast cancer surgery.

She has expressed the need to take it easy during her recovery, acknowledging that it's not a quick recovery. She also expressed her dislike for hospitals in her Instagram post, stating that she is ready to get back home.
As of late July 2025, Jessie J is continuing her recovery as an outpatient, with the investigation of her condition set to continue. The specific type of infection she is dealing with remains unclear. The good news is that the cancer had not spread after her mastectomy, as she informed her fans shortly after the diagnosis.
