La cantante Selena Gomez se sometió a un trasplante de riñón y la donante fue nada menos que su mejor amiga, Francia Raisa.

Gomez padece Lupus, una enfermedad autoinmune que afecta diversos órganos y produce fatiga crónica entre otras complicaciones.

"Soy muy consciente de que algunos de mis fans se habían dado cuenta de que estaba muy abajo durante parte del verano y me preguntaban por qué no estaba promocionando mi nueva música, de la cual estaba muy orgullosa", escribió en su cuenta de Instagram.

La popular artista compartió con sus seguidores tres fotografías. En una puede vérsela recostada y sonriente junto a su amiga Francia, la donante del riñón. En las otras, la cantante exhibe las heridas que le dejó la cirugía.

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.

When you need a nap during meet n greets. Wish that was a real thing but that's why I adore my littles. I hope I could make a few of you smile today. Thank you again @coach I can't believe my bag is finally out. Or that I even designed a bag?!

Very much in my feelings about my big brother getting married. Even though we for sure knew it would be him first. May God bless you and your beautiful wife Henrie! ?
