Mercy revealed for the first time about her life-altering surgery and how she overcame cancer. She said, “I had a cancer scare in quote, and I had like my thyroid removed. And this was like a journey for my husband and I because we had kids.
“My last baby was 6 months old when we knew about it. It was a reality that we had to face. You know, them giving me timing and telling me you can’t miss your medication. Once you wake up that’s the first thing. Telling me all of the side effects. I found out that I had to live the rest of my life on medication.”
