Mercy Johnson opens up on health struggles, reveals reason behind sudden weight loss

Beloved Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has broken her silence regarding her recent health challenges and the noticeable changes in her physical appearance, which have stirred concern among fans and sparked widespread speculation online.

In a heartfelt conversation with veteran actress Joke Silva, Mercy revealed that she had a major health scare that drastically altered her life.

The actress disclosed that she underwent thyroid removal surgery following a cancer scare, a procedure that has since led to significant weight loss and ongoing medical attention.

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.”
