The abuse caught up with her and according to doctors may have lead to her Hepatis C diagnosis. The treatment for Hepatis helped her liver but destroyed her kidneys.
Now, the 60 year old songstress is a survivor of kidney disease and she is sharing her story with the world!
In her new book, “Love Brought Me Back: A Journey of Loss and Gain,” Cole details just one part of her amazing life story: Her battle with kidney disease and how she, her sister and another two sisters came together in an incredible journey.
In her interview on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, this morning, Natalie explained that during this difficult period, her adopted sister, Carole, was dying of cancer. In an amazing turn of fate, her kidney transplant took place on the same day that her sister died – and the kidney she received came from a woman whose own sister was devastated by loss.
When Tom asked how she was doing now……..Natalie replied, “Better than I ought to be.”
So good to hear that her recovery is going well!
