I Had Cancer Scare, Underwent Thyroid Surgery - Mercy Johnson Reveals Reason For Weight Loss

Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has revealed the reason behind her drastic weight reduction.

She spoke in a recent conversation with veteran actress Joke Silva.

Mercy explained that she had a cancer scare and underwent a thyroid removal surgery.

She said, "I had a cancer scare and I had my thyroid removed. I was like a journey for us because we have kids and my lastborn was six month old at that time, we [my husband and I] kept saying, we had to understand this is the new us, let's go get the surgery done.

"When we got there, they said that I was going to be on medication for the rest of my life. We had to sit down, they were saying I can't miss my medication, telling me the side effects. So, I'm reconciling with this you are saying [my weight loss]. I'm at the point where you realised that this is where we are, let's grow from here and live in this comfort zone."
