NBA legend Nate Robinson Gives a Health Update
Nate hasn’t appeared a lot in the media ever since he announced the kidney failure diagnosis. In a recent media interview, he said, ‘I know that I don’t have long if I can’t get a kidney,’.
‘I know I’m not going to have long to live. So I just want to make the best of it as much as I can.’
He continued, ‘Some people’s body reject dialysis. And thank God that mine accepts it and I can live… if I didn’t go to dialysis, I wouldn’t live probably longer than a week or two. So it’s serious, can’t miss a day. I go in for four hours, three days a week, four hours a day. And they clean my blood to get my toxins out. And they help me out a lot because that’s how I’m living.’
