Veteran Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, has debunked reports making the rounds that she has been battling cancer.

Johnson said she does not have cancer, stressing that she only spoke of having a cancer scare which doctors felt was something serious.

The famous actress made this known via a video shared on her Instagram page on Sunday.

The mother of four said she was misunderstood with her explanation in a clip from her cooking show, ‘Mercy’s Menu’, adding that she only had problems with her thyroid.

Johnson, who thanked her fans for their calls and prayers over the development, said she was perfectly okay and does not have cancer.

The actress 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,” Mercy Johnson stated.
