Natalie Cole

[jt57]

I'm watching her with Larry King.  She is really bashing interferon.   Not a very good advocaate for todays soc....I really wish she would not blame the interferon so publicly.  Just because she had some problems does not mean everyone does.  I knew upfront that this tx can cause kidney issues in some folks.  She is talking like "the doctors don't tell you...."   Whats up with her?

Not one person has told me interferon can cause kidney disease.

This simply isn't true. NOT true.

My NP was very clear that interferon can cause kidney issues. In fact she said it was that uncommon.

Only thing is that she first mentioned this to me around week 40. LOL.

Natalie Cole is nowhere near the “sharpest knife in the drawer.”  

You hit the nail on the head. She obviously has a great gift but brains are not one of them. Larry King showed her emails of people offering to give her a kidney and she said if there was a match that the person offering "would have to wait until until she finished her current tour".
   ????  What. I could not believe she actually said this. Anyone would be and should be gratefull for a gift such as this. She acted like they will have to just have to wait because her tour is more important. Something is not right here.

Like Trinity, I've seen a lot of contradictions where Natalie's health was concerned but she is speaking out, which is a lot more than most celebrities.  

I personally worry about not getting all the right labs.  Is there a list of standard tests that all people on hvc on tx should be getting?  Maybe I should make this the subject of a new post. (tomorrow, going to bed).

Its not over yet, and by no means do I want to stop.  However, I must take into consideration all the things that are going wrong, and seek out medical opinions from outside the trial.  This is contingent upon my blood results next week.  Hopefully, my  kidney levels have not risen, my TSH level has come down, and the hgb is going up.  We will see.  

Its not about what others are saying, that causes me concern.  Its the blood test results because those numbers tell the true story.

Good to hear from you and hope your still handling tx well.
