Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has addressed concerns over her drastic weight loss, revealing that a cancer scare led to thyroid removal surgery. The movie star’s transformation sparked widespread discussion on social media, prompting her to share details of her health struggles in a recent conversation with veteran actress Joke Silva.
Okojie disclosed that she faced a challenging period after the cancer scare, with her youngest child only six months old at the time. “I had a cancer scare and I had my thyroid removed,” she said. “It was a journey for us because we have kids, and my lastborn was six months old. My husband and I kept saying we had to understand this is the new us, let’s go get the surgery done.”
She explained that post-surgery, doctors informed her she would require lifelong medication, outlining the side effects and the need for strict adherence. “I’m reconciling with this,” Okojie added, addressing public reactions to her weight loss. “I’m at the point where you realize this is where we are, let’s grow from here and live in this comfort zone.”
