Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has disclosed the cause of her dramatic weight loss in a recent interview with veteran actress Joke Silva that she had a thyroid ectomy surgery after experiencing a cancer scare.
She said, “I had a cancer scare and I had my thyroid removed. I was like a journey for us because we have kids and my lastborn was six month 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.”
May your weak body become strong in Jesus name.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
