Singer Natalie Cole is up for a kidney transplant and her 31-year old son Robert is a possible donor if it is medically possible. Cole is
hopeful that a kidney dialysis could put an end to her thrice a week dialysis. The 58-year old Cole may be undergoing regular dialysis
but this has not stopped her from working. She has in fact toured all over the world in the past six months while struggling with her
health problems. She has been diagnosed with hepatitis C a year ago but has tested negative for the virus. However, she has been
battling both kidney and liver problems at the same time.

Cole has not allowed her illness to deter her from her music career. She has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for her “Still
Unforgettable” album released in 2008. However, if her kidney transplant pushes through she does not have a choice but to take time
out to recover. While recovery time does not excite her, Cole said it will be worth it if makes her well again. She admitted she has
never been faced with anything like this but she would not let anything bring her down because she loves when she has to do so
much.
