Philly Anchor Off the Air with "Major Voice Issues"
/A Fox Philly Anchor has been M-I-A while she undergoes some tests for issues with her voice.
The Philly Voice writes that Anchor Lauren Johnson, who anchors the station's weekend "Morning News" and "Good Day Philadelphia" took to Facebook on Thursday to describe a painful journey to find out more about some "major voice issues" she's developed as of late.
Doctors discovered cysts on Johnson's vocal cords, partial paralysis and an inflamed throat after she saw an otorhinolaryngologist two weeks ago, according to the post. The process was "torture," she reported, leading her to shed a few tears along the way.
Specialists are set to remove a tube in Johnson's nose Friday that was placed there for a 24-hour pH probe study.
Johnson, who hails from Atlanta, joined the station back in 2014 after hosting "Good Day Orlando" on WOFL, a Fox affiliate in Florida.
