Selena Gomez Reveals She Had A Kidney Transplant
Selena Gomez reveals the real reason she was laying low this summer.
As you may or may not know, Selena Gomez has a disease called Lupus. Lupus is when there is inflammation caused by the immune system attacking its own tissue.
Selena kept quiet about her surgery and laid low during the summer. She didn’t even promote her new music which left many fans quite confused. Selena’s statement about her surgery is as follows:
“I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org/ -by grace through faith”
Selena is so strong for undergoing the surgery and sharing her story with millions of people. We wish only the best for her in the future, and can’t wait to see what she does next.
