While many celebrities with diseases tend to hide it and keep their fans deprived of any information about it, Selena Gomez, the A list singer is bold enough to disclose it and talk about it in front of the world.
Selena Gomez found out about her lupus back in 2013 and there was nothing that could stop her from chasing her dreams and plans. She took a minor break between 2013 and 2014 to give herself some time for her own. During this break, she went to a rehab facility called The Meadows and actually took care of herself. In an interview with Ellen Degenerous, she said: “It’s kinda one of those situations in which you just have to take care of yourself.”
For those who don’t know anything about lupus, it is a chronic disease that can affect any part of the body damaging its tissues. In her case, the victim was her kidney.
The ‘Same Old Love’ singer under went chemotherapy in 2015 for the auto-immune disease but the doctors suggested her to have the kidney replaced. The bold and beautiful Selena Gomez ended the battle with a win against her disease by going through a kidney transplant 2 days before.
She shared a series of pictures on her Instagram account post surgery in which she revealed the scar that she got from the surgery and also the donor who happens to be her best friend Francia Rasia. Selena Gomez is friends with The Secret Life of American Teenager star since 2008 when they first met.
