I have been to hell and back. I have seen the edge. I have seen the dark side of life.
From Natalie Cole
I couldn't breathe. I - I went into - literally, my kidneys stopped functioning. They stopped, you know, processing the fluid that was starting to build up in my body.
I have been on dialysis in Istanbul, Milan, Indonesia, Manila, London. It's - it's amazing.
There are some great human beings out there. That's all I can say.
I feel enough distance from the person I used to be. I'm not ashamed about my life anymore, because I've learnt from it.
I continually acted up to get attention. My father gave me that, and once he left, I felt that I didn't have any.
I can laugh at myself because I've had to. Everything would have been much worse if I'd been the singing son of Nat 'King' Cole.
If you don't have dialysis, absolutely, you will die. Dialysis is actually keeping me alive.
I was pretty bad. When I first was diagnosed with kidney failure, my function - the function of my kidney was less than 8 percent.
I already had high blood pressure. I have hypertension. And I think the chemo was just too much for my kidneys. And they went into failure. And that was September 12th of 2008. And the doctor rushed me right to the hospital.
