Jessie J has confirmed that she is not cancer free, a day after posting her hopes to be rid of the disease following her mastectomy.
The singer, 37, who underwent surgery late last week, said on Friday that her previous post had been ‘misunderstood’ and while she was ‘praying’ for good news, the cancer at present had unfortunately not ‘all gone’.
Jessie went on to say that she was awaiting test results and would be taking a week’s break from social media in order to ‘focus on her recovery‘.
Speaking about the misunderstanding she wrote: ‘I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was… the cancer has all gone’.
‘This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don’t have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn’t.
She went on: ‘A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn’t that simple unfortunately’.

She ended the post with a list of physical issues, as she wrote: ‘The pain and discomfort is ok and expected but a d**khead when I’m trying to sleep. Sneezing is a myth – that hirts. Not pooing from the anaesthetic and the painkillers I just wanna pooooooo.’

The singer shared an ‘honest’ account of her breast cancer treatment on Instagram on Monday following her surgery.
Jessie posted selfies from her hospital bed showing her chest bandaged up, as well as a tearful video after coming round from the anaesthetic, seemingly filmed by her partner Chanan Safir Colman.
She could be seen speaking to Chanan quietly about how she was thinking about saying ‘I love you’ to their two-year-old son Sky.
The clip showed the star in recovery, groggily telling her boyfriend: ‘I was imagining Sky saying “I love you mummy” and I was saying “I love you, I love you back”.’
Chanan was also seen sweetly kissing her as she prepared to be wheeled down to surgery, whilst other clips showed Jessie’s delight when her young son Sky, two, was allowed to visit.
She showed the realities of surgery, sharing a look at her surgical drain, which helps with fluid build up whilst in one video she sang to herself whilst she waited to go into surgery, singing: ‘I’ve now been at the hospital for six and a half hours.’
