Jessie J has shared a heartbreaking update about her cancer diagnosis, revealing that she has not been given the all clear.
The singer revealed three weeks ago that she had been diagnosed with "early" breast cancer and that she was due to go for surgery.
Writing on social media on Monday, she revealed that the surgery had gone ahead.
She said: "I am home now, to rest and wait for my results."
Following her surgery, it was widely reported that she had said that her cancer was "all gone".
However, she has no revealed that that was just "positive affirmation".
Addressing the mix up, she said: "You have misunderstood my post. I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was ... The cancer has all gone [fingers crossed emoji].
"This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the emoji in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't.
"A weird situation. My fauly 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."
Her message comes after she had made a "pros" and "cons" list after her surgery.
Jessie wrote in the 'pros' list: "Cancer has all gone [fingers crossed emoji]. My nipple is where it used to be. I can watch Love Island with no guilt. I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever. My Mum lives with us (My [superhero emoji]). Sky just being Sky.
"Chanan making me feel safe and the massages are 10/10. Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other. Lots of other things..."
For cons she wrote: "Cons (These are very honest / some are silly).
"Not being able to be the Mum I'm used to being and not picking Sky up or the person I'm used to being tbh. I don't sit down ever. lol.
"The fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone - the mental with this is [foggy face emoji]. The pain and discomfort is ok and expected but a d***head when I'm trying to sleep.
"Sneezing is a myth - that hurts. Not pooing from the anaesthetic and the painkillers. I just wanna pooooooooo."
