“I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,” she said in a June 3 Instagram video. “Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early.'”
Jessie also infused humor into her health update, as she continued, “It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music.”
And despite the difficult emotions surrounding her cancer diagnosis, the “Bang Bang” explained she wanted to be “open” through her journey.
“I do not talk about it enough,” she shared. “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.”
Adding she wants to stand alongside others that are battling cancer, 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.”
