Recently, Mercy Johnson talked about her experience with a cancer scare that led to physicians prescribing her lifelong medication.
On her cookery show, Mercy’s Menu, which debuted on Thursday, the 38-year-old revealed this while chatting with veteran actress Joke Silva.
Speaking to the veteran actress, she said: “I had a cancer scare 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.’
I’m Cancer-Free
The mother of four, however, stated on her Instagram page that when she spoke about her situation earlier in a video, people misunderstood it.
She added that her thyroid issues were considered significant by her doctor, but that all she had experienced was a cancer scare.
She said that she doesn’t have cancer and is perfectly okay.
She said: “Hi guys! ok so first of all I must 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 it was cut. They cut the clip. I said I had a cancer scare means that I have this sweeping on my neck (shows her neck), You can see the line there and my doctor felt it was something serious. I had problems with my thyroid, I am perfectly okay.
“Thank you so much for all of your calls and your messages, all these phones have been buzzing like crazy, I am perfectly fine and I DO NOT HAVE CANCER. I’M PERFECTLY OKAY. So thank you so much for checking up on me, and thank you for all the messages. Go back and watch the clip, it was completely misunderstood, I’m fine!
