Natalie Cole is hospitalized

Singer Natalie Cole has spent the past week in a New York hospital after suffering a setback in her battle with hepatitis C.

The soul star was diagnosed with the blood disease at the beginning of the summer (2008) and she recently told how weekly chemotherapy was leaving her drained.

The treatments have also been costing Cole her hair. She said that she does chemo every week and that they are going to go for it and cut off all my hair.

She added saying that the timing of all this couldn’t be worse because of her new record coming out. Cole also joked about the weight she’s losing as a result of her health battle jokingly saying that she can now become a model and walk the ramp, catwalk size. (SAMPURN)
