Since the surgery, Gomez and Rice have practically recovered. In addition, the artist has already moved away from the shock experienced and decided to tell about this difficult step of the public. To do this, Selena was invited to the studio of NBC, where she told that she is now alive only thanks to her friend Francia. That's what words about this Gomez said:

"I know that for many, the news about my operation was a surprise. Believe me, when a doctor told me that my kidneys were turned down and I could die, I experienced no less surprise than many of my admirers. One must understand that without an urgent kidney transplantation, it was possible to put a cross on my life. A donor was needed promptly. My family did not fit, but then my best friend Francia Rice came to my aid. Now I want to say very loudly, so that everyone would hear me, this girl saved my life. I do not know what I'd do if it did not happen. My gratitude to France can not be described in words. I just do not know such words. This girl gave me a piece of life. It's like a new birth, which happens consciously. At such moments, you understand how precious life is. We do not have anything more valuable ... ".
