I Had A Cancer Scare, My Thyroid Removed - Mercy Johnson Addresses Weight Loss by fergie001(op): 12:10pm On May 19, 2025*

Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has addressed her drastic weight loss, revealing that she had a cancer scare and a thyroid removal surgery.

Johnson-Okojie’s trimmed figure sparked conversations online, and in a recent chat with fellow acting veteran Joke Silva, she opened up on her health challenges.

“I had a cancer scare and I had my thyroid removed,” Johnson-Okojie recounted.

“It was like a journey for us because we have kids and my lastborn was six months 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,” she added.

She initially attributed her weight loss to slimming tea and became a brand influencer for said company.

Now she’s singing a different song because the truth started coming out in whispers.

Wahala for anyone who takes these yeyebrities seriously
