Mercy Johnson: “I Had My Thyroid Removed, I Was Placed On Medication For Life” by ExclusiveBet(op): 1:03pm On Jan 13, 2023

Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, has opened up about a cancer scare that made her doctors place her on medication for the rest of her life.

She made the revelation while hosting veteran actress Joke Silva on her cooking show, Mercy’s Menu, published on Thursday.

The actress also revealed that she had surgery where her thyroid – a gland in the throat – was removed and she was placed on strict medication for life.

The actress narrated how she and her husband, Odi Okojie, managed the situation at that time.

Mercy said, “I’ve never discussed it where I had a cancer scare and I had my thyroid removed. It was like a journey for us. We had kids and my last was six months at that time.

"We kept saying that we have to understand that, ‘this is the new us. Let’s go get the surgery done’. And when we go there, they said I was going to be on medication for the rest of my life.

“It was a reality that we had to sit down. Them giving me a time that ‘you cannot miss my medication. As you wake up, that’s the first thing’, and telling me all of the side effects.”

Silva had earlier told Okojie about how she was able to manage the dementia diagnosis of her husband, veteran actor Olu Jacobs.

According to Silva, accepting her husband’s new reality helped her to manage the situation better.

If Nigeria and Nigerians had a knowledge of what GOD ALMIGHTY has Deposited on Earth via our nation via THE LORD'S CHOSEN CHARISMATIC REVIVAL MINISTRY, many will not die the way they died or keep living in pains of terminal diseases.

I am not talking about being of this Church or of that church neither am I bragging.

GOD has given NIGERIA something very Rare. GOD has given us the Highest Anoiting on Planet Earth. Unfortunately many choose to waste money traveling up and down with no solution. Others look down on the Solution to their problems and so they keep suffering in silence.

Go to the LORD'S CHOSEN and get your Freedom for Free.
WHAT GOD ALMIGHTY is doing with THE LORD'S CHOSEN has not been witnessed anywhere on Earth .

She's lucky that massive weight gain didn't come.

A lot blame weight gain on loss of thyroid.
