Remember that Jackson recently postponed her Unbreakable World Tour and put out a statement in October saying that she had to rest her vocal cords. Then, in December, she posted this on Facebook: โ€œI need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon. It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the Unbreakable Tour until the spring.โ€

According to Yahoo!, a source said that โ€œdoctors found a growth on Janetโ€™s vocal cords that could be serious.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s a medical condition that has to be taken care of immediately," the source explained.

If this is true, hereโ€™s to hoping that it isnโ€™t cancer and that Jackson is as healthy as can be.
