Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, 41, sat down with CNN chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, for an in-depth interview last night.

T-Boz discussed her sickle cell anemia and brain tumor. “Doctors, they didn’t give me a happy ending,” said T-Boz, who added that doctors told her she wouldn’t live past 30 or have kids because of her sickle cell. “I believe words are powerful. Every thing — every single thing in life happens for a reason,” she said.

T-Boz is currently in the studio working on her solo album. In her spare time, she works with children with blood disorders and encourages people to donate bone marrow.

The Sanjay Gupta MD program featuring T-Boz airs Saturday & Sunday @ 7:30am on CNN.
