Mercy Johnson Opens Up On Cancer Scare, Surgery And Daily Medicines

Nollywood star, Mercy Johnson has opened up for the first time on how she survived a cancer scare and a surgery that has forced her into a daily medication for life.

GWG.ng reports that Mercy Okojie spoke about her cancer scare in an edition of her cooking show on YouTube where she had Nollywood veteran, Joke Silva as a special guest.

While questioning Joke Silva on the health of her husband ,Olu Jacobs, Mercy Johnson opened up on how she got a cancer diagnosis that forced her into a regime of daily medication.

She said; “… Odi [her husband] and I have actually been here and I have never discussed it where we had, like uhm, a scare. I had a cancer scare in quote and I had like my thyroid removed. And it was like a journey for us because we had kids.

“My last was six months at that time and then we kept on saying okay, we have to understand that this is the new us, let’s go get the surgery done.

“And then we got there, they said I was going to be on medication for the rest of my life and it was a reality that we had to sit down.

“You know, them giving me a timing and telling me you can’t miss your medication. Once you wake up that day, that’s the first thing. Telling me all of the side effects.

“So I’m reconciling with this you’re saying, it’s the truth. At the point you realize this is where we are, let’s grow from here, let’s live in this comfort zone.”
