Cole, 59, has struggled with kidney problems while undergoing treatment for hepatitis C, which she was diagnosed with a year ago. "The kidney came from a deceased organ donor through the regional organ procurement agency, One Legacy," her rep said in a statement.
In February, Cole was hopeful that her son Robert might be a possible donor match. Cole, who has undergone kidney dialysis three times a week since September, is expected to spend the next three to four months recuperating.
Cole contracted the degenerative liver disease from sharing dirty needles via a drug addiction in that occurred in the 80s.
This poor lady has had the worst week of her life!! Her transplant was a success and then her sister Carol "Cookie" Cole dies.
