Jessie J has shared a candid update with fans after undergoing treatment in wake of her breast cancer diagnosis.
The 'Price Tag' singer, 37, announced the news of her health woes earlier this month, warning fans she was 'going to disappear for a bit'.
In an Instagram post on 4 June, Jessie explained: "I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I'm highlighting the word 'early' - cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'.
"I've been in and out of tests for this whole period, and I just wanted to be open and share it."

Revealing she would be undergoing surgery, the London-born star joked: "I'm getting to keep my nipples! That's good. It's a weird topic. It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job.
"I am going to disappear for a bit after the Summertime Ball to recover from my surgery... and I'll be coming back with massive t*ts and more music!"
During the gig at Wembley on 15 June, Jessie - real name Jessica Ellen Cornish - told the crowd it was her last show before she was 'going to go and beat breast cancer'.
The hitmaker has since undergone the surgical procedure and has shared a social media post documenting the 'honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours' in hospital.
"I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through," Jessie captioned the post. "Grateful to my doctor/surgeon and all the nurses who cared for me and all my family/friends who came to visit."
She explained she's now back at home where she is resting and 'waiting for her results'.
"Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now," Jessie sweetly added. "We all got this!"
The carousel of images and clips included some extremely raw moments from the 'Do It Like A Dude' songstress' hospital stay, including an emotional embrace with her partner, basketball star Chanan Colman.
Others showed their young son, Sky, putting a smile on his mum's face while Jessie also included a clip of her discussing her excitement about the prospect of seeing her parents.
The post featured graphic images of the singer's post-surgery care too, such as the drains which doctors attached to her chest to remove excess fluid and blood following the procedure.
Jessie managed to keep her sense of humour despite being in hospital and joked that the contents of these drains resembled a 'goji berry smoothie'.
The post was flooded with thousands of comments of support from both fans and famous faces, while Jessie was praised for being so honest about her health journey.
US singer and actress Teyana Taylor shared a lengthy prayer for her pal while adding: "I love you Jess, I’m sending you an abundance of love & prayers."
JLS star Marvin Humes added: "Ah Jess wow... these posts. I know Sky will be keeping you smiling and giving you strength... big love... you’re an absolute warrior."
His wife, Rochelle Humes, also commented: "SO proud of you! You’re made of strong stuff my girl."
TV presenter Gaby Roslin wrote: "Sending you strength, energy and so much love you beautiful soul."
And Michelle Keegan also chimed in saying: "Sending lots of love."
