Jessie J has opened up about the painful emotional experience of undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis in April. “I’m currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what is happening,” she wrote on Instagram Saturday. “Now I’m here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days.” The Bang Bang hitmaker added that she hopes soon to “sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t shirts and crack tf on.” Though she struck a resilient tone in her posts, she said that she regrets not taking more time to process what was about to happen before going into surgery. “A little disappointed in myself I didn’t say goodbye to my old boob enough,” she said. “Sounds silly but that’s where I’m at.”
