Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early.' I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period. I just wanted to be open and share it, 1) 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. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. Um, that's the bit that kills me," said the singer. Jessie went on to say that she will be undergoing a double mastectomy later this year, calling it "a very dramatic way to get a boob job." "I'm getting to keep my nipples. That's good. It's a weird topic and a weird situation," said Jessie, adding, "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." 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 In the Instagram caption, she added, "All jokes aside (You know it's one of the ways I get through hard times).
