Most of the time best friend is your better half, no matter what happens you just know they will be by your side in an instant. The first person whom you wanted to share anything and of course the first person whom you may call in times of need.
Hollywood Pop Star Selena Gomez revealed that her best friend actress Francia Raisa was her kidney donor in which she’s had a secret kidney transplant due to Lupus.
Selena first revealed about suffering from Lupus in 2015 and last year she had to take a break from her work due to anxiety, panic attacks and depression-stemming from the disease.
She told her fans during that time; “As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways.
Recently, Selena shared series of pictures and also explained her condition why she had been absent for most of the summer.
She wrote:
“ 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."
She was also very thankful to her best friend Francia who had donated her kidney, in which she felt “incredibly blessed” and gave her a heartwarming message.
She continued; “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."
Selena also wants to raise public awareness regarding Lupus. "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” She added.
According to Wikipedia, Lupus is a disease of immune system. It is chronic, which means it does not go away. It is an autoimmune disease, where the person’s immune system attacks their own body. Lupus can be deadly. It causes swelling and tissue damage, and can attack any part of the body. It most commonly affects the heart, joints, skin, lungs and blood vessels, kidneys and the brain/nervous system. Some symptoms include: fatigue, fever with no cause, hair loss, mouth sores, and sensitivity to sunlight .
Francia described Selena as her forever friend. As she wrote a birthday message to Selena last year:
“There are so many moments we have and things you do that I cherish and don't take for granted. Whether it's crying, laughing, or simply sitting on my kitchen floor throwing our hands up in the air confused at life, I'm thankful you're always there. I am obsessed with every memory we've built in the last 8 years and the ones we have yet to create. I am so grateful that God put you in my life when he did. It's been so inspiring watching you grow and to grow with you. I learn so much from you and I'm so so so proud of you."
“The Secret Life of the American Teenager” star Francia Raisa and former Disney actress Selena Gomez have been best friend since 2008 and even called each other sisters.
