Jessie J Is Cancer Free One Year After Breast Cancer Diagnosis

There’s no price tag on good health.

Jessie J revealed that she’s officially cancer free one year after sharing that she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“RESULTS ARE IN AND I AM CANCER FREE,” she captioned a video posted to Instagram May 21. “I sobbed for hours and then exhaled for the first time in a year.”

In the clip, Jessie wore a hospital gown with an IV port in her arm as she sat in a waiting room to receive an MRI and spoke to how nervous she was for the test.

“I’m back for my yearly checkup,” she said. “I’m actually s–tting myself, I’m not gonna lie. They told me there was no contrast, but I think there is based on this.”

The singer of ‘Price Tag’ mentioned she’s going for an MRI and trying to stay calm despite feeling claustrophobic. She explained that breast MRIs require lying face down with arms raised, jokingly comparing the pose to Superman. She also added she might need a larger container this time, referring to a collection bucket.

Despite her nerves, Jessie tried to keep an optimistic outcome ahead of the test.

“Fingers crossed,” she said. “All good, all good. Positive vibes.”

After a difficult fight with cancer, the 38-year-old is doing better. She described the past year as incredibly challenging, but also filled with special moments.

“In a world full of ‘everything is fine, I’m happy, I’m good, life is perfect,'” she wrote on Instagram in December, “there is grief, hurt, pain, sadness, heartbreak and reflection and processing happening this time of year for many of us, alongside the good and great or on its own.”

The positive update comes after a tough cancer battle for the 38-year-old, which resulted in “one of the hardest but most magical years” of her life.

“We are not superhuman or meant to be happy and positive all the time,” Jessie added at the time. “It’s healthy and normal to cry, and if someone you love is crying don’t say ‘oh don’t cry’ say ‘come here.’”

The “Bang Bang” singer also commiserated with anyone else going through hard times.

She offered support to anyone experiencing similar feelings, acknowledging that things weren’t looking up. She simply wanted to let them know she understood and that life can be really tough sometimes.
