"It was a life or death situation": Selena Gomez's heartbreaking confession for her transplant
"I didn't want to ask a single person in my life."
It was through Instagram that Selena Gomez revealed to the world that due to the lupus that she suffers from, she had to have a kidney transplanted, because hers no longer gave more of her. And not only that, but she also said that her donor was her best friend Francia Raisa.
However, since then neither of them has spoken on the subject even though both have appeared in public on more than one occasion. And it is the American program "Today" who has the exclusive on the history of Selena's operation.
Through an interview that will be broadcast in three parts, the singer reveals what the process was like and how France came to donate the organ to her.
“It really was a matter of life and death. My kidneys were no longer working. That was it and I didn't want to ask a single person in my life (the donation) ”.
Selena comments that she found out that she needed a transplant when she was being treated for lupus and she was moderately well, but that she needed a donor in order to improve her overall health.
While the reason why France was the one who donated the kidney to her is much simpler than it sounds: she simply volunteered to do so. So when the host asked the singer if she felt that her friend had saved her life, she was categorical:
“Yes, because she did. That was".
They still need to broadcast more of the interview to both friends, where they hope they will tell more about the process to get to the operation and perform the transplant.
