Two of the top ‘Mariteses’ in the Philippines Cristy Fermin and Lolit Solis are currently struggling with their health.
Cristy Fermin hosts her radio and online show Cristy Ferminute, which updates about the latest showbiz happenings. She was away from her program for almost two weeks as she had her polyp throat surgery on August 15 at St. Luke’s Medical Center Global City.
According to DukeHeath.org, the said surgery entails the removal of noncancerous growths like vocal cord nodules, vocal cord cysts, and vocal cord polyps in one’s vocal cords. These bumps, like calluses can cause a raspy, breathy, or hoarse voice.
After resting for about two weeks, Fermin returned to her online show on August 29.
On the other hand, Lolit Solis is struggling with her kidney and will soon undergo a kidney transplant operation.
In her Instagram update on August 26, the entertainment columnist talked about her struggle with her dialysis.
