In a series of Instagram Stories, the Price Tag hitmaker explained that while she’s on the mend, her energy levels aren’t what they used to be.
“If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctor’s appointment… and I seem a little out of it, I am,”
she wrote.
“It’s not personal. I don’t have what I usually have to give energy-wise, understandably”.
This raw honesty is typical of Jessie, who has documented every step of her cancer journey—from her emotional pre-surgery performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball to the challenges of post-op recovery.

“This was a positive affirmation, NOT a fact”.
