Jessie J said on Instagram that a previous post where she had shared a list of pros and cons of breast cancer surgery had been misunderstood.
She said the first "pro" that she included on the list, that "the cancer has all gone", was "a positive affirmation not a fact." She said she had added the 'fingers crossed' emoji beside the statement, believing it would be understood that she was expressing hope that the surgery would be successful.
The singer said she does not yet have her results following the procedure, which she underwent less than a week ago.
Jessie added that the confusion was "my fault for not being clearer."
She said: "I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately."

In a later post, the 37-year-old musician said she was taking a break from social media "to focus on my recovery and not saying stuff that gets twisted or misread."
The Price Tag singer revealed her diagnosis with early stage breast cancer earlier this month.
She stressed that it had been caught "early."
She said at the time that she would "disappear" shortly after Capital's Summertime Ball on 15 June to have the surgery.
"It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job! I am gonna disappear for a bit after [the] Summertime Ball to have my surgery. And I will come back with massive t**s and more music,” she said.
