Natalie Cole: Diagnosed with hepatitis C


Natalie Cole: Diagnosed with hepatitis C

Singer Natalie Cole, who was awarded with Grammy, has been diagnosed with hepatitis C. Her publicist has flashed this news on Wednesday.

Details about Natalie Cole’s condition can be known from the statement of the publicist. As per this statement the disease was discovered during a routine examination. It was caused due to use of drugs few years ago.

"I've been so fortunate to have learned so much from my past experiences," "I am embraced by the love and support of my family and friends; I am committed to my belief in myself and in my abiding faith to meet this challenge with a heartfelt optimism and determination. This is how I intend to deal with this current challenge in my life." Natalie Cole put forth this comment in a height of emotion.

Dr. Graham Woolf, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA/Cedars Sinai Medical Center also was available for opinion about Natalie Cole. He said that Cole has had a "terrific response to her medication and is now virus negative."

Further he said,"This gives her an increased chance of cure." "But, she has also suffered significant side effects from the anti-viral medicine, which is the only FDA authorized treatment for hepatitis C. Her side effects include fatigue, muscle aches and dehydration but she is recovering from these."

Fifty eight year old Natalie Cole, the proud daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, has had a successful career thereby selling millions of records over the years. She also has planned to release "Still Unforgettable." It is the follow-up of Grammy-winning CD "Unforgettable ... With Love." Being released in the year 1991 Natalie Cole has made an attempt to remake some of unforgettable songs of her father in the month of September.
