In a candid sit-down with veteran actress Joke Silva, Mercy opened up about a harrowing chapter in her life, a cancer scare that led to the removal of her thyroid.

“I had a cancer scare and I had my thyroid removed. It was like a journey for us because we have kids and my lastborn was six months old at that time,” Mercy shared during the emotional conversation. “We [my husband and I] kept saying, we had to understand this is the new us, let’s go get the surgery done.”

The actress, known for her vibrant energy and emotional depth on screen, revealed how the experience forced her and her family to adjust to a new reality, especially after learning she would be on medication for life.

“When we got there, they said that I was going to be on medication for the rest of my life,” she said. “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.”

Despite the health scare, Mercy Johnson’s strength and grace continue to inspire many. Her openness about her experience has been hailed as both brave and empowering, especially in an industry where image and perception often overshadow personal health battles.

As fans continue to send in messages of love and support, one thing is clear, Mercy is not just a screen goddess but a resilient warrior navigating life’s toughest challenges with courage and hope.
