About the health problems Selena Gomez known for a long time, but no one thought they were so serious! The 25-year-old singer suffered a kidney transplant, which was taken from her close friend.
Progressing disease
Selena Gomez did not hide that since 2015 she is forced to constantly take medication and undergo treatment because of an autoimmune disease - systemic lupus erythematosus. The singer's organism produces antibodies that attack healthy cells.
Several courses of chemotherapy, which Gomez suffered, did not help, the disease progressed. To the constant panic attack and depression, as it turned out today, lupus-nephritis and doctors were added to save the life of the stellar patient, they offered the only way out - kidney transplantation from the donor.
Shocking information
It turns out that the fact that in the summer Gomez did not go out into the light and did not fall into the field of view of the paparazzi, there is an explanation. At that time, The Weeknd's lover was in the hospital, where she received a kidney transplant, and then recovered at home after surgery.
About this Selena frankly told in her Instagram, thanking her friend 29-year-old Francia Rice for an invaluable gift:
"I know that some of my fans noticed that I was not a part of the summer, and wondered why I was not promoting new songs that I'm proud of. I found out that because of lupus, I need a kidney transplant. This had to be done for my health. I sincerely share this with you. I want to thank my relatives and an incredible team of doctors for everything they did for me before the operation and after. And, finally, I have no words to express how grateful I am to my beautiful friend Francia Rice. She gave me her kidney. I love you so much, my sister. My lupus is still strong, but progress is on. "
Gomez accompanied her monologue with a photograph taken in the hospital ward and also did not hesitate to show a large postoperative scar.
