Jessie J<\/a> has compared cancer surgery to an episode of Black Mirror.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Jessie J has opened up about having surgery for breast cancer<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old pop star – real name Jessica Cornish – revealed in June that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and she subsequently underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Now the singer has opened up about going under the knife admitting she hates being “put under” with a general anaesthetic because it feels life she’s in an episode of the hit Netflix sci-fi show.<\/p>\n
Jessie told the Guardian newspaper: “I hate being put under. They walk you down. You know when you have emergency surgery you roll down in a bed, but this time I just strolled down with a gown on and my bum hanging out. You feel like you\u2019re in an episode of Black Mirror …<\/p>\n
“Cancer sucks, man, but you know what? Thank f*** I found it early. I had the mastectomy four months ago and my right breast now looks like a grapefruit under a tight bedsheet … <\/p>\n
“[They are now] different sizes. They didn\u2019t do an implant as small as my original. How rude! I thought, no need to bully me, I\u2019m already having a rough time.<\/p>\n
\n“So rude! It\u2019s funny because I said I\u2019d never get my boobs done because I\u2019ve got OCD, and I know they\u2019d never be perfect. Cancer ruined that plan.”<\/p>\n
\nJessie went on to admit she believes her life has been peppered by health issues which always seem to happen when she’s experiencing success.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained: “Honestly, I feel life goes: ‘You having a good time? Sit down.’ Ever since I was a child, it has always gone alongside moments of success for me; something severe or obscure has happened to my health.”<\/p>\n
\nJessie was working in London’s West End as a child star when she was diagnosed with a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and she later suffered a minor stoke at the age of 17 shortly after landing a record deal as part of a girl group.<\/p>\n
\nShe also damaged her larynx in a 2020 car crash as she was poised to release new music and the accident left her unable to sing for a year.<\/p>\n
\nJessie added of her health problems: “I\u2019ve clearly got an addiction to being diagnosed with things. So maybe the cancer is part of that …<\/p>\n
\n“My mum and dad always did such a great job of not making that the definitive thing in my life, and not making me define my character by my worst days.<\/p>\n
\n“That was amazing and has carried through to now.”<\/p>\n
