In a post on Instagram, Jaymee said that her cancer now "is highly treatable with hormonal therapy and very manageable" compared to the first one.

"I've been mustering the courage and fiding the right words to say what I'm gonna say but I guess there's no easy way to go about this," her caption reads.

"It's confirmed. The cancer has come back.

"I don't want to disclose specific info right now but one thing's for sure, the recurrence was detected super early and medical team are still doing more tests to make sure all bases are covered."

Jaymee's first breast cancer diagnosis was in 2016 but she's in remission since 2017.

"What I have is highly treatable with hormonal therapy and very manageable which means I can live many more years and there's still a lot of HOPE to WIN over this.

"So no pity party pls!"

Dear Social Media: I've been mustering the courage and finding the right words to say what I'm gonna say but I guess there's no easy way to go about this so here goes... It's confirmed. The cancer has come back. I don't want to disclose specific info right now but one thing's for sure... the recurrence was detected super early and medical team are still doing more tests to make sure all bases are covered. 🙌🏼 . What I have is highly treatable with hormonal therapy and very manageable which means I can live many more years and there's still a lot of HOPE to WIN over this. So no pity party pls! ☝🏼 . For now, all I ask is your continuous virtual support, healing prayers, well wishes and hopeful outlook as I embark on this uncertain yet awakening journey. I've also decided to lie low on social media for now because I choose to cope with everything in an organic way by truly living and appreciating life as it unfolds right before my very eyes and surround myself physically with people who love and care for me. ❤️ . I will come around when my cup is filled and I'm ready to inspire, uplift and empower once again. But for now, I need to take care of me and do a lot of praying and meditating. 🙏🏼 . This is gonna be an epic battle. And with God's grace, my medical team, my loved ones and your support, I'm a WIN the second time around. Let's keep the faith and hope for the best. 💫 #jaymeewinsagain #letswinagain #thirdchancetolife
