Natalie Cole Diagnosed With Hepatitis C
Singer Natalie Cole's past drug use seems to be catching up with her.
The singer's rep has confirmed to People.com that Natalie have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C -- which is likely the result of her hard partying ways years ago, but doctors are optimistic that Nat will beat it.
"Natalie has had a terrific response to her medication and is now virus negative," Dr. Graham Woolf, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at U.C.L.A./Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said in a statement. "This gives her an increased chance of cure." Sadly, the doc goes on to say that Nat is suffering from side effects from the anti-viral medicine, including fatigue, muscle aches and dehydration, but, "she is recovering from these."
Despite her health issues, Natalie is still expected to release her new album, Still Unforgettable, on Sept. 9.
Let's send her good thoughts.

I'm just a bit curious.The Magazine HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP reported her profiles were found on the famous wealthy dating club R I C H L O V I N G.C O M last week and she was seeking her new guy there now! BTW, The girls there are really hot!
Sorry, no good thoughts for her. She thinks she's better than others because she isn't "bad" anymore but lookie who was so horrible to her body that she's still suffering the effects of it. Don't feel sorry for her at all.
And when is she going to stop riding on the coattails of her famous (and immeasurably more talented) father? She is still referring to "Unforgettable" and it's been how many years since she did that tacky duet with her dad??
How cruel people can be... I pray nothing bad happens to those making heartless and evil-spirited comments about Ms. Cole.
I wish the best to Ms. Cole and will be praying that she recovers. I respect that she is upfront with her diesese. The duet Unforgettable Duet was fantastic and i will be looking forward to her new Album on September 9th.
Natalie is beautifully talented....best wishes to her and her family...missed U at "the bowl"....take care.
