'Not expected': Jessie J hospitalised weeks after breast cancer surgery

"Back in the same ward I was."

Jessie J has been hospitalised for a serious infection.

In June, the Price Tag hitmaker announced she had undergone surgery to treat early-stage breast cancer. Taking to Instagram Stories over the weekend, Jessie shared she was back in hospital being treated for an infection and a "little fluid" on her lungs. "How I spent the last 24 hours," she wrote alongside a photo of an IV in her arm. "6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery (sic)."

"Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD."

And even though Jessie was finding it hard to "breathe in", she decided to discharge herself on Saturday night as she "hates being in hospital".

Doctors will continue to care for the singer-songwriter as an outpatient.

"A reminder to myself to slow tf (the f**k) down even though I feel like I'm a (tortoise) pace right now. This isn't a speedy recovery. And it isn't meant to be," the 37-year-old continued. "I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't right now, and that's what it is."

Jessie, who shares a two-year-old son with partner Chanan Colman, also joked that she has been diagnosed as "dramatic".

"I finally got a diagnosis of what's been going on, apparently it's called... Dramatic? I think that's the spelling. My symptoms are the same and no idea what's wrong yet. But my sarcasm and sense of humour are holding on," she teased.
