Nollywood actress/filmmaker, Mercy Johnson Okojie has spoken up about having a cancer scare as well as the surgery she had to battle it.
She revealed all of this during an episode of her YouTube cooking show, ‘Mercy’s Menu’, where she had veteran actress Joke Silva as a guest.
The conversation emanated from Joke Silva talking about how she has been dealing with her husband, Olu Jacobs health, which also prompted Mercy Johnson to talk about her own health condition. Take a look.
Following that video, Mercy Johnson has since reassured her fans that she does not have cancer.
The renowned actress, who took to her Instagram page on Sunday in a video clip to clarify the rumours of her having cancer, said she only spoke of having a cancer scare, which doctors felt was something serious.
According to her, she is doing well and does not have cancer but she was only misunderstood with her explanation in her first video clip on ‘Mercy’s Menu’.
She stressed that she only had problems with her thyroid but was perfectly okay and does not have cancer.
Correcting the impression in a video she said,
“Hi guys, Okay, so first and foremost, thank you so much for all of you who have been calling and sending messages and prayers, thank you. I do appreciate it so much.
”But, I do not have cancer. I noticed that a clip from my TV show, Mercy’s menu, has been flying around and I think they cut the clip.
“I said I had a cancer scare, it means that I had this swelling on my neck and my doctors felt it was something serious. I had problems with my thyroid, but I am perfectly okay.
“Thank you so much for all of your calls and your messages, the phone has been buzzing like crazy, I am perfectly fine and I do not have cancer.
” I am perfectly okay. So thank you so much for checking up on me, and thank you for sending those messages.
“Go back and watch the clip, it was completely misunderstood, I am fine, I do not have cancer in Jesus’ name, thank you guys so much,” she wrote
