When I read news like this, I remember my mother and how we suffered. She passed away 2 years ago because of diabetes that became in kidney complications, she was 69 so was not admitted as candidate for kidney transplant at social sec.

NATALIE COLE - COLE'S SON TESTED AS A POSSIBLE KIDNEY DONOR
Cole, 58, has been battling ill health since she was diagnosed with hepatitis C in 2008. She suffered kidney problems while she was being treated for the liver disease, and is currently undergoing dialysis three times a week.
The only cure is a kidney transplant - and the star reveals her 31-year-old son Robert is being checked out as a possible donor.
Cole says, "My son may be a possible match. It's very sweet and kind of strange to have people offer something like that."

NATALIE COLE still isn't sure how she contracted liver disease hepatitis C - from her days as a heroin user or from a dirty tattoo needle.
The Unforgettable singer was diagnosed with the incurable disease in February (08), while undergoing blood test work for insurance purposes - and she learned she could have been infected as long as 25 years ago.
