In her words:

“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, 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, 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.”
