Exclusive T-Boz Interview on her Sickle Cell Journey

         This touching, personal interview with rapper T-Boz highlights all of the inside scoop on Sickle Cell Anemia that most people never get to hear about. Like most celebs, T-Boz talks about how most people assume since she's a celebrity she must get special treatment. She wants to let everyone know this is not the case. She explains how it affects her other family members, how it's hard for her, and how there isn't any special treatments for celebrities. The interview begins with highlighting what the disease is and how it affects the body. She also discusses in detail how the genes are passed down hereditary. Just because a parent has the disease, doesn't automatically mean that the children will have it as well. This is a misconstrued notion that T-Boz sets the record straight about.

         In addition to her having to do her duties as far as being in the spotlight, she talks about the excruciating pain that she endures daily. Most people do not know the type of pain that people with this disease go through, but T-Boz tells the Doctors what it's really like. She also has physical skin issues that show, like change of color, blotchy patches, etc. In this interview, T-Boz shows home remedies anyone can use to help ease the pain they endure.  Not only does she have to deal with the physical pain, there is a lot of emotional pain associated with the disease. T-Boz tells The Doctors that once she was diagnosed, the doctors she was seeing told her she wouldn't live past the age of 40 and that she would never children. She has fought against those odds because she is 43 and has a 14 year old daughter. This interview shows the courage of T-Boz and she is a truly admirable person.
