JESSIE J has revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery in days.
In an emotional post on Instagram she told fans: "I was diagnosed with early breast cancer."
She added: "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early."
The 37-year-old said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball in London on June 15.
"It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job," she joked.
The singer told fans about her hesitation going public about her diagnosis but that she decided to be "open" for multiple reasons.
She said: "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough.
"I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book."
The Grammy nominee, who also shared her ADHD and OCD diagnoses with fans earlier this year, added that she hoped to show solidarity with other cancer patients.
She said: "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse—that's the bit that kills me."
