Singer Jessie J has said there remains a possibility that her breast cancer could return, despite undergoing successful treatment earlier this year.


The 37-year-old artist announced in June that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and later underwent a mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery. Speaking about her experience, she said she feels “super lucky” the cancer was detected early but acknowledged that a future recurrence cannot be ruled out.


Jessie J told ABC News that her mother was the first person she called after receiving her diagnosis, recalling the emotional moment they shared. “I remember calling my mum first and I said, ‘Well, I can’t die because I have Skye,’” she said.


Reflecting on her treatment, the singer noted that her cancer was caught before it became invasive. “I have been really lucky, super lucky, to find it so early,” she said. “I know there’s a chance it could come back, but until then we are living life.”


Jessie J, now a mother of one, added that being put under general anesthesia during surgery felt surreal, comparing the experience to an episode of the sci-fi series Black Mirror.
