“Tomorrow is a new day” - Jessie J suffers “worst day” amid breast cancer diagnosis

Jessie J has shared the experience of having her "worst day so far," during her ongoing health crisis concerning breast cancer. It is a day she describes as deeply emotional and filled with panic attacks, fear, and sadness.

The singer, 37, took to Instagram yesterday to share her struggles with fans after announcing the diagnosis of early breast cancer on public platforms. She constantly reminded her fans with positive messages stating ‘Tomorrow is a new day’ as she described going through a heavy phase.

Trying to juggle being a mother, a professional, and undergoing treatment all at once, left Jessie J feeling “drowned in negativity’ during one of her hardest weekends. Jessie, who has a son, Sky, with her partner Chanan Colman, says that the last three months have been overwhelming for her – balancing life, work, and cancer, all suffering mentally because of it.

Her emotional post described panic attacks and spiraling feelings, acknowledging that even small comforts helped in the process.

“I ate a corn on the cob,” she wrote. “Turns out it's extremely hard to panic or cry while eating one. Highly recommend.”

While her humor shone through, Jessie made sure to acknowledge the gravity of her experience explaining that feeling fear and sadness is not only normal, but something that needs to be processed.

Jessie J further stressed that, despite her upbeat public persona, she does not shy away from showcasing the shadowed sides of her journey.

“I won’t be just talking about the highlights and making jokes all the time. That isn’t real life,” she added.
